People Looking for People
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
Thanks to a the creative approach by Memorial Committee member, John Tranchina, who was also in charge of the original construction of the Memorial, arrangements were made to wash the Memorial stones with the help of the Hicksville Fire Department staff and the Building Superintendant of Hicksville Schools. This will put the Memorial, put in place shortly before the beginning of the Covid Pandemic, in pristine condition for it's Dedication Ceremony!
Currently, Bill Walden is awaiting word from the superintendent of schools on a date for the Memorial Dedication Ceremony, along with any need for a permit and/or insurance to hold it.
As previously mentioned, we'll let everyone know once we have a Dedication Ceremony date, in order to 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.
We trust each of you will celebrate an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend this month!
On behalf of the Project Team,
Joe Carfora, HHS 1962
