We've taken a new approach to this section. It's been re-organized by Henry Lichtenstein as an online spreadsheet. Rather than publish the list here, it's now available below. If you have found the person you are looking for, please let the editors know so the name can be removed from the list. If there's someone you're looking for, just send your request and we'll be happy to add it to the list. If anyone knows these folks, send an email to:

HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE
29 March was the 5th Anniversary of National Vietnam War Veterans Day,
as Americans united to thank and honor Vietnam veterans and their families
for their service and sacrifice.
This date is a fitting choice for a day honoring Vietnam veterans. It was chosen to be observed in perpetuity as March 29, 1973 was the day United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished and also the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam. In addition, on and around this same day Hanoi released the last of its acknowledged prisoners of war.
There is nothing new to report for the month of March, 2022. However, with spring in the air, we will be in touch with school officials in April to determine a date for the Memorial's Dedication Ceremony.
We'll let everyone know once we have a dedication ceremony date that has been officially approved by school officials. We will also give everyone as much advance notice as possible, in the event they wish to attend.
Currently, the Memorial stones can be viewed in the Hicksville Memorial Gardens on an individual basis at the south side of the Hicksville Middle School on Jerusalem Avenue.
Additional donations will continue to help us cover the cost of the Dedication Ceremony gathering for school district and local official dignitaries, as well as to honor donors who have made very significant contributions to the Memorial. Further donations will also help with maintenance and upkeep of the Memorial for many years to come.
The project will be officially complete once we are able to conduct the Dedication Ceremony at the Memorial.
Please visit the Honoring Our Veterans tab of this newsletter for the full update, along with information on how to mail in a donation.
On behalf of the Project Team,
Joe Carfora, HHS 1962
