Jews and the Medal of Honor
It should be noted that Tibor is one of only two living Jewish recipients of the Medal of Honor; the other being Col. Jack Jacobs who received his MOH for action during the Vietnam War. Since Tibor's story is one of blatant anti-Semitism, one has to wonder how many other Jewish servicemen were denied our nation's highest award due to their religious adherence. Hundreds of Jews were awarded the DSC and the Silver Star in WWII and the following conflicts. Is it reasonable to believe that there are those among that number who should have been considered for the MOH? What is being done about it?

Tibor is a Hungarian; my Mother,OBM, survived with one lung 65! My Father was also a Holocaust survivor. My Grandparents, both on my mother's and father's side were exterminated at Auschwitz; I know what means to be child of survivors!

Nebech.
What did he fight for? Today, the Chinese Communists are all of our economic masters. But, B"H, Hashem protected him.
