Don’t know how I happened to miss this story at the time, but today I read about the most recent Medal of Honor awarded to a veteran of the Korean War. More than 50 years later President Bush recognized Tibor Rubin for his bravery above and beyond the call of duty. Lots of interesting wrinkles, like the fact that Mr. Rubin was a citizen of Hungary, a Jewish concentration camp survivor, and that serving in the US Army was the fulfillment of a vow he made in 1945. Read this amazing story here.
