“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the heroic efforts of Corporal Tibor Rubin of the United States Army. Corporal Rubin was with the 1st Cavalry Division and received his Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism in action from July 23, 1950 to April 20, 1953 in Korea. While the Regiment was withdrawing, Corporal Rubin single-handedly held off enemy charges allowing the 8th Cavalry to complete its withdrawal. On October 30, 1950, a number of Chinese forces mounted an assault on Corporal Rubin's unit. Corporal Rubin maintained his firing position until he had exhausted all his ammunition. Although inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy, Corporal Rubin was eventually captured. While in a prison camp, however, the Corporal continued his resistance and selflessness by caring for his sick comrades. It is for his unyielding courage and bravery that I am proud to honor and remember the actions of Corporal Tibor ``Ted'' Rubin. HONORING TECHNICIAN FIFTH GRADE ROBERT D. MAXWELL”
