Korean War vet awarded Medal of Honor


As a teenager, the Nazis put Tibor Rubin in the Mauthausen concentration camp.
Survivors eagerly pull down the Nazi eagle over entrance to the Mauthausen concentration camp.

The U.S. Army liberated the camp on May 5, 1945. Rubin emigrated to America, became a citizen, and joined the Army before the Korean War broke out. Now he's going to receive the Medal of Honor for what he did as a prisoner of the Chinese Communists. Yahoo has some more information at After 55 Years, Vet to Get Medal of Honor.
