Don Holleder
Donald Walter Holleder (August 3, 1934 – October 17, 1967) was an American college football star while attending the United States Military Academy who was later killed in the Vietnam War.
==Early life and football career==
Holleder was born in Buffalo, New York, and at age 13, he and his family moved to Irondequoit, New York.〔(Recalling Western New York's homegrown Army hero )〕 He attended high school at the Aquinas Institute in nearby Rochester. He was heavily recruited by a number of top college football teams, including West Point's offensive coach Vince Lombardi.
He elected to enroll at the United States Military Academy at West Point. As a junior in 1954, he was named to the All-America team as an end. The following season, Army head coach Colonel Red Blaik asked him to move to quarterback. Holleder clearly lacked the skills to be a productive passer, but Blaik felt that his leadership skills were important and would help the struggling team improve. Blaik's move was ridiculed but it paid off. The team finished with a record of 6-3-0, including a rousing upset of Navy that led to Holleder's appearance on the cover of ''Sports Illustrated''. One of Holleder's classmates at West Point was General Norman Schwarzkopf. They both graduated in the Class of 1956.
