Medal of Honor recipient. Portrait on a U.S. Postal Service stamp. Namesake for a Garden Grove library.

Now add one more honor to Korean War veteran and Garden Grove celebrity Tibor Rubin’s list of recognitions: honorary citizen in Anyang, South Korea.

Anyang is Garden Grove’s sister city, and its officials recently bestowed the octogenarian Holocaust survivor with honorary citizenship.

Officials for the Sister City Association of Garden Grove and the Garden Grove City Council congratulated him during last week’s meeting, though Rubin was unable to attend. His daughter, Rosie Rubin, accepted the citizenship on his behalf.
