Additional videos, including an interview with Tibor Rubin here.

Our previous entry detailing Corporal Rubin’s heroic acts here.

Corporal Rubin’s actions in Korea earned him four recommendations for the Medal of Honor. He was also nominated twice for the Distinguished Service Cross, and twice for the Silver Star. Had he received all those awards, he would have become the most decorated American veteran of the Korean War. But two Purple Hearts and a 100 percent disability were the only recognition he received - until now.

A look at “what took so long” here.

Hat tip

Tibor Rubin was giving a medal Of Honor because of a quota in the ‘Jewish War Veterans Act of 2001’

Here is the truth on this farce

Not a farce. The man deserved the award and it was held back because of anti-Semitism. It is nice to see he received it before he died. There is no quota.
 
Thank you, Gilliam, for providing that link. I had heard an interview with this fellow on NPR last week. His experience in the concentration camps helped him survive the Chinese POW camp. He said that he could tell when one of his fellow prisoners was giving up and wanting to die. He would give them, “medicine” which was a placebo and it helped quite often.

The anti-Semitic sergeant was really horrible. To try to get somebody killed who is on your side because of hatred is truly tragic.

I heard the same interview on NPR. When the interviewer concluded her interview by saying that she felt honored to meet him, there was no doubt from the tone of her voice that she really meant it. The man was a true hero with a real love of his fellow soldiers.

And, it seems to me that he is the only person who could be said to have benefited from having been in a Nazi concentration camp. He himself noted that his fellow POWs in Korea were soft and unused to hardship. Perhaps it really is true to say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It certainly turned out that way for him.

And it is disgusting that the recommendation for his award was held up several times over all those years because of anti-semitism.
 
According to Tibor

*Was at Mauthhausen
  • He fought on crutches
  • He Defied snipers
  • Single handed killed 100’s
  • Ran through Chinese brigade throwing grenades
  • Held a hill for 24 hrs
  • As a POW he broke out of camp every night
The truth here is the Jewish lobby passed a bill, and it says Jews must be awared 168 Medal of Honor as a quota.

Tibor Rubin’s story is ridiculous BS
