Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial

Fund Raising:  Donations reached $5,100 in March, a $400 gain over February, against our goal of $25,000.

32 donors have accounted for the above amount and five of those accounted for over $3,300 or 65% of total donations.

If every reader could spare as little as $10 for this worthy cause, we would be well over our goal, with any overage going towards the needs of current wounded Veterans and their families in need.

Please remember that your donations are tax deductible.  We hope that future donations will achieve our goal and will represent a much broader cross section of HixNews readers, plus past and present Hicksville residents in general. 

The Memorial Team very much appreciates your generosity.  Donation checks should be made out to:
Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project

And should be mailed to:

Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project
c/o William Walden
245 West 9th Street
Deer Park , NY 11729

An alphabetical list of current donors appears at the end of this monthly update.  Many of the donations have been accompanied by notes thanking the Project Team for its efforts to build the Memorial.  Such notes make our work  even more gratifying and are very much appreciated.  A few of these have been published in this issue of HixNews.

Neither the Confirmed or Unconfirmed Lists of Names have changed since February.  The current Confirmed List contains 1,894 names.  We continue to need the help of all our readers here!! 

As a HixNews reader, please help us by reviewing both lists when you select the "click here" options near the bottom of this update.  To save you time, just look for names from your class year and other years you may be familiar with, as a reference and see if you have a new name or some missing data on existing names to email to us.  Class years, where known, are specifically shown and missing data is marked in red, to make it easy for readers to see what's needed.

The Unconfirmed List was created to specifically insure we don't leave anyone behind from earlier class years (the 1940's and 50's) who served during the Vietnam War Era and deserve recognition.  Please see if you can help us establish if these folks served during the Vietnam Era (Vietnam Era dates are shown in the "Memorial Qualifications" section below).

Memorial Qualifications and Project Team:  These have been displayed in this report monthly for a long time now and have not changed.  If you are a new reader, please check a past issue of HixNews for qualifications and the list of Project Team members.
