Fifty-two years after the Korean War ended, Tibor “Ted” Rubin receives his Medal of Honor Sept. 23,2005. Rubin was presented with the MOH for single-handedly manning the Tegu-Pusan Road link so his unit could escape the Pusan Perimeter and for his actions keeping his fellow POWs alive and fed during 30 months of captivity. Rubin was recommended for the MOH in the early 1950s, but because of discrimination due to his religion it was initially denied. In 2001, to correct the racial discrimination in awarding medals during most of the 20th Century, the U.S. military determined Rubin had been discriminated against, and recommended him for the MOH. Rubin joined the Army after making a promise to himself to repay the American Soldiers who liberated him from Mauthausen concentration camp, where he had spent 14 months as a teenager.
