PETER P. TYCZ II MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

Viet Nam Veterans Chapter 77 has formalized the Peter P. Tycz II Memorial

Scholarship for 2006. Sergeant First Class Tycz

was a US Army Green Beret who died in the line

of duty in Paktika Province Afghanistan in 2002.

The chapter has chosen to honor this Tonawanda

native with a memorial scholarship for numerous

reasons including his local ties, involvement in

the community, devotion to his family and

country, and exemplary military service. He

was the son- in-law of chapter member, Bill

Parmentier and is survived by his wife, Tami J

Tycz and 5 daughters.

The basic format will remain the same in that

each award will be $250 with the total number of

awards dependant on fund raising efforts

throughout the year.

In 2005, 12 awards were

given out for a total of $3000.

As in the past, the scholarship will be designed for a graduating high school senior who:

•   resides in Niagara or Erie County

• has a relative who is/was a veteran (Reservists who have completed 180 continuous days of service are considered        veterans.),

• shows a unique blend of academic achievement and community

• and anticipates enrollment in an accredited program of higher education beginning in the fall of 2006.
