think this says it all if anyone ever asks why we're putting so much
time into getting the HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL constructed,
especially the paragraphs I've highlighted In James Webbs Heroes of the
Vietnam Generation. I received this from
a good friend of mine who is well aware of what we're doing. Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial - PROJECT UPDATE November was an excellent month, with 12 new names added to the Confirmed List of Names, for a new total of 1,877! This well emphasizes the continued need for the help of the HixNews readership to insure we leave no one behind who deserves to be included in this Memorial.
Two months ago we announced the inclusion of Reserve and National Guard members as part of the Memorial, provided they served during the Vietnam War Era and meet all other qualification requirements. We have already added a good number of these names to the Confirmed List, but if you previously submitted your name, or the name of a friend, who under the old rules was turned down and do not currently see that name on the Confirmed List, please help us by resubmitting it to me for reconsideration.
November's celebration of Veteran's Day on Monday, the 11th, was particularly heartwarming as the media used the entire weekend preceding it to show our nation's thanks for the service of all current and past members of our nation's Armed Forces, a lesson learned from the days when the public often did not acknowledge the service of the Vietnam Veteran when he or she returned home.
As always, to see the full report on the Memorial's status, please see this month's update by clicking on the Honoring Our Veterans tab of this newsletter. Clicking on the two links near the bottom of the update will bring you to the complete Confirmed and Unconfirmed List of Names as of the end of November.
We wish each of you and your families All the Best for a Joyous Holiday Season and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2014! On behalf of the Project Team, Joe Carfora, HHS '62 Go to this month's HixNews Profiles and follow the quest to find information about
James Wright who was in the class of 1963. The Vietnam Memorial committee members are trying to determine if James was killed in action in Vietnam.
If anyone has information, please send a note to editors@hixnews.com or to Joe Carfora at
