Fund Raising:
Donations reached $8,492 in
September, only a $152 gain over August, against our goal of $25,000. The total number of donors has now
increased to 74. Our $25,000 goal is very achievable,
especially if every reader would spare as little as $10 for this worthy
cause. The majority of HixNews
readers have not yet donated, so please do it now! 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: And should
be mailed to: Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Project 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.
One
new name was added to the Confirmed List in September and our total now
stands at 1,898 names. There
has been no change in the Unconfirmed List of Names for some time now.
We continue to need the help of all our readers here!! In
conjunction with the Class of 1965's 50th Reunion (October 3-5) and
following a tour of the high school for the reunion class, Bill Walden,
Commander of Hicksville's VFW Post and a member of the Class of '65,
will conduct a ceremony at the Jerusalem Avenue Middle School's Memorial
Gardens, in honor of all of Hicksville's Fallen War Heroes.
His remarks will also mention the status of the Vietnam Memorial
Project. 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 you 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
