The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Assistant Surgeon Jacob F. Raub, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism on 5 February 1865, while serving with 210th Pennsylvania Infantry, in action at Hatcher’s Run, Virginia. Discovering a flank movement by the enemy, Assistant Surgeon Raub appraised the commanding general at great peril, and though a noncombatant voluntarily participated with the troops in repelling this attack.
