Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial UPDATE - 11/1/19

Fund Raising: With Bill Walden out of town, we cannot report any new donation activity for October.  Any donations mailed to him during the past month will be reported next month in the 12/1/19 Update. For now, total donations, as reported last month stand at $39,133. 

The total number of donors remains at 209.  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
c/o William Walden
245 West 9th Street
Deer Park , NY 11729

Memorial construction completion is still pending.  As noted previously, the Center Stone is already in place at the Jerusalem Avenue Middle School Memorial Gardens.  We have now received all the nameplate plaques and the two remaining stones for the Memorial.  Placement of these should take place on each side of the Center Stone in November, weather permitting.  This will complete Memorial Construction!!

While construction should be completed in November and people can drop by to see the Memorial after that is announced, we have decided to delay the Memorial's Dedication Ceremony until next spring, when the weather will be better for an outdoor event.  An announcement of the date and time of the Dedication Ceremony will be made at least a month in advance in HixNews and will also be posted on the "You Know You're From Hicksville , NY If"  and the " Hicksville High Alumni Foundation" Facebook pages.

FINAL Confirmed List of Names:

Please click on the following link to review the Confirmed List of Names, organized alphabetically by graduating class year and shown as they will appear on the MemorialClick here

Please note that the list of those killed in action does not appear on the Confirmed List, because the names of those who paid the ultimate price during the Vietnam War, are honored with a separate plaque that contains additional details and is placed on the Memorial's Center Stone, just below the Memorial's Dedication Plaque.
