Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial UPDATE - 9/1/20

Fund Raising: We will reconcile our books for the October 1 report after Bill Walden gets back home in mid-September, but for now there was one new donor in August in the amount of $25.  There were also two other checks deposited in March totaling $125, but we won't have the donor names until Bill gets home.  As of now, without the reconciliation against Bill's spreadsheet, total receipts appear to be $39,558.  With the Memorial now complete, we have $3,966 remaining for future needs.  This does not leave much for Dedication Ceremony expenses and future Memorial maintenance. 

So, if you have yet to donate, or wish to make an additional donation, now would be a great time!  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

Except for the two missing March names, as of the end of August, the total number of donors is now 213.  All donors (individuals, couples and groups) are listed alphabetically at the end of this update.

Memorial construction is now complete. Construction was completed in mid-November, 2019 but the final Dedication Ceremony was delayed for winter weather considerations and now the Pandemic.  In the meantime, alumni and other readers can  drop by to see the Memorial.  An announcement of the date and time of the Dedication Ceremony will be made after we have a legal "all clear" on the Pandemic and at least a month in advance of the ceremony.  The announcement will be posted in HixNews, as well as on the Hicksville Facebook pages.

As Hicksville 's Board of Education has had to turn their attention to managing the school district under the Pandemic, we have understandably yet to hear from Superintendant Lintz regarding possible dedication dates,  the need for insurance, or a permit for the Dedication Ceremony. 

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 Memorial: Click 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.
