Please join Heroes Hall for the unveiling of its captivating new exhibit Valor & Virtue: Jewish American Medal of Honor Recipients.
Heroes Hall invites the community to a special viewing of Valor & Virtue: Jewish American Medal of Honor Recipients focuses on all 18 Jewish American recipients, from Civil War’s Benjamin Levy to the most recent, Christopher Celiz, who was posthumously awarded for his actions in Afghanistan.
The event will include guest speakers: Rosie Rubin, daughter of Medal of Honor recipient Tibor Rubin; Samuel Yudin, president of the Jewish American Military Historical Society; and Lt. Col. Robert F. Huntly.
Central to the exhibit is the story of Tibor Rubin, a Holocaust survivor who became a hero fighting for the U.S. Army in Korea before settling in Orange County.
The Medal of Honor is awarded for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty." It is the highest award for acts of valor the nation can bestow.
