Kudos to all those who made the Veterans Wall Unit possible. It is a fitting tribute to the heroes from Hackensack who may otherwise have been forgotten with the passage of time.
With Veteran’s Day just a few weeks away, I recently took another look at the Wall Unit. I see that among Vietnam vets, the number of names has now risen from 63 to 278, assuming I’ve counted correctly. But a large percentage of these names are from a single graduating class (1964), and I was surprised to find that I recognize only two of the names on the entire memorial. This suggests to me that there are probably quite a few names still missing. I hope HHS continues to publicize the Wall Unit so that all of our veterans are able to be honored for their service to our country.
