    TRIBUTE TO PHI BETA UPSILON FRATERNITY AT PLYMOUTH STATE COLLEGE

                                 ______


                            HON. DICK SWETT

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 2, 1994

  Mr. SWETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the brothers of Phi 
Beta Upsilon fraternity at Plymouth State College in New Hampshire. 
Last week, Phi Beta Upsilon held their second annual trip to Washington 
to visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
  This year's group consisted of 19 Vietnam veterans and 18 PSC 
students. Phi Beta Upsilon worked tirelessly to raise money for the 
trip, even holding a rocking chair marathon in Plymouth. Their efforts 
have allowed a group of veterans to visit the Wall and view the names 
of their fallen comrades. More importantly, this trip has also allowed 
a new generation of students to better understand the sacrifice made by 
so many in Southeast Asia so many years ago.
  The brothers of Phi Beta Upsilon are a special group of young men. 
Their fraternity was founded over 20 years ago by a group of veterans 
returning from Vietnam. Today, the fraternity carries on their mission 
of service to veterans of this tragic war.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to Phi 
Beta Upsilon and their record of serving Vietnam veterans across New 
Hampshire.
