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. From the USMA yearbook: "Hailing from Hungry, 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 Stars: Public Information Detail 4, 3; Cross Country 4, 3, 2, 1, Numeral 4; Major A 2, 1, Track 4, 3, 2, 1, Numeral 4; Major A 2, 1, Debate Council & Forum 4; Russian Club 4, 3 Photo courtesy of Jack Price An addendum from his comrades in the 5th Infantry Regiment Randy Kethcart Randy@Bobcat.ws
