Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial UPDATE -
4/1/19 Fund Raising:
Two donations in March, one new and one from a repeat donor, added $150
to our total, which is now $35,333, with a net total of $34,458 in our
bank account after past IRS filings.
The total number of donors is now 199.
All donors (individuals, couples and groups) are listed
alphabetically at the end of this update. Please know if you have yet to
donate, you can still become part of the Memorial if you can spare as
little as $10 for this worthy cause to recognize your fellow alumni who
served our Great Country. We will very much appreciate any amount you
can spare. Remember, all 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 We began accepting
donations in October, 2014, upon achieving tax-exempt status from the
IRS. $3,400 was raised in
the remaining 3 months of 2014, $6,200 in 2015, $8,300 in 2016, $16,488
in 2017 and $675 in 2018. The
new total well surpasses our original $25,000 goal and expectations!
We owe this result to all our donors who have helped achieve
it over the past 4+ years!! We
are finally moving towards actual construction of the Memorial, now that
spring is here and the weather is starting to warm!!
John Tranchina, HHS 1964, who is heading up the construction
phase for us will do a walk through at the Memorial site with Bill
Walden and school officials on 3/29 to make sure everyone is on the same
page before construction actually starts.
We are still hoping to pour the Memorial's concrete footers
during the week of April 22nd, when the Hicksville School
District is on spring break. A
small portion of the footer depth will be seen above ground.
After the footers are in, the center stone will be constructed
first and will have the Memorial's center plaque at the top, followed
by an engraved list of all those from Hicksville who were killed in
action during the Vietnam War. We
are still planning to dedicate the footers, along with the completed
center stone first, likely late this spring, The
last two stones will contain the full bronze plate listings of all names
and data from the Confirmed List, organized by class year.
There will be an official dedication ceremony, hopefully in late
September, or early October. To
save on the cost of engraving, the full names (last, first and middle
initial) of all who served will be engraved, but the data next to each
name has been abbreviated. For
example, if a veteran's active duty service was in Vietnam, we are
using RVN as the Republic of (south) Vietnam was then known.
If the veteran served in Japan, we are using JPN, Germany, GER,
Continental USA (CONUS) will be shown as US and so on.
All names will be listed alphabetically by graduating class year.
Please see the link below, which will enable you to view the the
listings as they will appear on the completed Memorial. We
received some help in filling in missing data for the Confirmed List in
March, but progress here remains very slow.
This may likely be your
last chance to send in missing data, as once we start engraving the
nameplates, it will be too late! We hope you can help us on this during April! Please
review any of the links below to see if you can help us with still
missing data. The
abbreviated list, organized now by graduating class year, is now the
quickest way for you to find the names of classmates you may know.
