Thank you for your service to our country so long ago. It is especially sad you were killed so shortly after your 20th birthday. Another life taken way too soon. Rest in eternal peace.

Remembering An American Hero

Dear PFC John Vincent Akin, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter

John V. Akin was a neighbor and friend.

Thank you John for the sacrifice of your life and future for our country. You are gone now to GOD'S loving arms but those of us who remember you as a young boy and then a young man in Pittsfield will always miss you! Wish you could be here with us this holiday season.
I remember when a couple of young girls on the way to school were saved from a couple of garden snakes by you (our hero forever) ! You were a school crossing guard and ran all the way down the street just to save us...We love you forever!
