Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial

Fund Raising:  Donations reached $6,200 in June, doubling our May increase, against our goal of $25,000.

More significantly, the total number of donors increased by over 40% to 51!

This starts to show that we can truly reach the $25,000 it will take to build and maintain the Memorial, If every reader can spare as little as $10 for this worthy cause.

If you have not yet donated, please do it now and remember your donations are tax deductible.  Just follow the simple instructions below.  Your generosity will be very much appreciated.

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  

We hope that future donations will achieve our goal and will represent an even much broader cross section of HixNews readers, plus past and present Hicksville residents in general. 

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.

No new entries were made to either the Confirmed List, or Unconfirmed List, of Names in June, so our confirmed total remains at 1,896 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.

Here's what we continue to need from each person reading this to do:
