As a West Point comrade and fellow member of the track team I recall Akos' prowess as a student and an athlete. It is with deep gratitude we are remembering you and all the others who served and died in times of war so that we may enjoy the Freedom and Liberties that make the United States of America great.




Akos Szekely From the USMA yearbook:

"Hailing from Hungary, Akos is characterized by fierce pride
and strong determination. The sports world knows him as a
national walking champion. The Academic Department
recognized him as a four year Star man, but we all know him
as a humorous, amiable friend. His boundless ambition and
perseverance make him a sure success in his future career
