David Rubitsky
David Rubitsky, (January 29, 1917 – June 28, 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David S. Rubitsky )〕) was an American veteran of World War II who claimed he was denied the Medal of Honor because he is Jewish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heroes: An Overdue Honor )〕 In 1987, the United States Army began a 23-month investigation and concluded that there was "incontestable evidence" that he had not done what he had claimed.〔
==World War II==
Rubitsky fought in the New Guinea campaign as a communications sergeant in Company E, Second Battalion, 128th Regiment, 32nd Infantry Division. According to Rubitsky, on December 1–2, 1942 during the Battle of Buna, he singlehandedly defended a bunker with a ".30-cal. machine gun, a .45-cal. pistol, a rifle and grenades."〔 Allegedly, he beat off the Japanese after a 21-hour battle in which he killed 500 to 600 of the enemy,〔 including wounded men he later shot or bayoneted.〔
Afterward, his company commander, Captain Joseph M. Stehling, surveyed the site and recommended Rubitsky for the Medal of Honor.〔 Stehling's superior, battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Herbert A. Smith, passed the recommendation along to Colonel John W. Mott, the division's chief of staff who was temporarily in command of three regiments, including Rubitsky's unit.〔 According to Smith, Mott stated, "You mean a Jew for the Congressional Medal of Honor?", laughed, and walked away.〔〔 By the reckoning of the Jewish War Veterans of America, only two were awarded to Jews during World War II.〔 Rubitsky did not receive a lesser award either.〔
After the war, Rubitsky joined the merchant marine. More than 30 years later, he settled down in Milton, Wisconsin.〔
