Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Great to see you this evening! Thanks to you and Star for tonight's Hall of Heroes!

I've never heard the story of Tibor Rubin before. He is indeed an inspiration. He exhibited uncommon courage on a daily basis in the face of unspeakable cruelty. The treatment of our POW's by the Chicoms during the Korean War was nothing short of barbaric. To survive under those circumstances requires great courage, perseverance and sagacity. To perform as Rubin did requires something more - not mere courage - our troops exhibit courage every day. It requires leonine audacity and monastic restraint. We are in his debt.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
