Dear friends and members of the 25th Infantry Regiment: On May 29, 2006, Memorial Day, we are commemorating the common bonds of the US and Hungary military tradition and recognizing the sacrifice of Hungarians and Americans in the cause for freedom. In 1969 the American Hungarian Federation established an award in the name of one your brothers, Akos Szekely (http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1964/24925/), who fell in combat on 9/11/1968. Captain Akos D. Szekely received the Silver Star for gallantry in action: "Captain Szekely distinguished himself by heroic actions on 11 September 1968, while serving as Commanding Officer with Company A, 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry near Ben Cui, Republic of Vietnam." I wanted to send an invitation in the hopes some of you remembered him or would want to commemorate his and his comrades' sacrifice. Please see the details below and the links for more information. We are celebrating our 100th year and I would like to encourage you join us, regardless of your ethnic heritage. See the Websites below to read more about our work. We are all volunteer and need your support. Respectfully, Bryan (703) 979-8281 personal __________________________________________________________ Bryan Dawson-Szil?i Chairman, Executive Committee bryandawson@americanhungarianfederation.org www.americanhungarianfederation.org / www.amsz.org / www.hungary1956.com (202) 737-0127 |
