"Fidelissimus ad Mortem"
"Faithful unto Death"

The American Hungarian Federation (AHF) established the Colonel Commandant Michael Kovats Medal of Freedom to honor outstanding individuals and recognize their life's achievements, dedication to freedom and democracy, promotion of transatlantic relations, and meritorious contribution to society. The award, AHF's highest honor, is open to Hungarians and non-Hungarians alike.

Inscribed on the medal is AHF's Motto, “Fidelissimus ad Mortem" or "Faithful Unto Death,” which represents Hungarian American historical committment to the United States. The motto was taken from a letter written by former Hussar Officer Michael Kováts to Benjamin Franklin. Kovats, known as a Founding Father of the US Cavalry, offered his sword in service to the United States. Col. Commandant Michael Kovats, founding father of the US Calvary by Gabriella Koszorus-VarsaOn May 11, 1779, Colonel Kovats gave his life in the American War for Independence while leading the Continental Army cavalry he had trained in Hungarian hussar tactics against a British siege of Charleston. The British remarked that Kovats' forces were "the best cavalry the rebels ever had." He is immortalized in the almost lifesize portrait by Gabriella Koszrous-Varsa seen here. He is immortalized at the Citadel Miltary Academy in South Carolina as they honor him and named "Kovats Field" after him. The Hungarian Embassy, too, has a statue in his honor sculpted by Paul Takacs and executed by Attila Dienes.

Colonel Michael Kovats Statue at the Hungarian Embassy in Washington, D.C. sculpted by Paul Takacs and executed by Attila DienesJust as Kovats’ life and service is celebrated annually by US Military Cadets at the Citadel, the motto reflects AHF virtues, and historically and inextricably ties Hungarians and Americans together while symbolizing Hungarians’ contributions and sacrifices to America’s beginning. Among the oldest ethnic organizations in the US, AHF was founded in 1906 in Cleveland, Ohio, and established as an association of Hungarian societies, institutions and churches to “defend the interest of Americans of Hungarian origin in the United States.”

Lászlo Rábel, Vietnam War hero and Congressional Medal of Honor Winnerenemy movement was detected.

As he and a comrade prepared to clear the area, he heard an incoming grenade as it landed in the midst of the team's perimeter. With complete disregard for his own life, he threw himself on the grenade and, covering it with his body, received the complete impact of the immediate explosion. By gallantry at the cost of his life in the highest traditions of the military service, he has reflected great credit upon himself and the US Army.

Foley, Sixth Maryland District, reported his selection from the large number of finalists with this remark: “Akos Szekely…the most unique, special, and outstanding student I ever appointed to the United States Military Academy.” He would go on to rank near the top in all of his academic courses and graduated number five in his class on 3 June 1964, and has been recognized as the highest ranking graduate of Hungarian ancestry from any of the United States Service Academies.
