The family of MM3 Sabino Rubio have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor this Hero for his service to our country. It will be our privilege to do so.
Sabino enlisted in the United States Navy on April 28, 1945 at the age of 16 and was honorable discharged on June 6, 1946. He was awarded the WWII Victory Medal for his service. While in the Navy, he excelled in boxing and even made it to the Olympic trials.
Sabino was born in El Paso, TX, but settled in Southern California after discharge. He was a plasterer and cement mason, and worked on road maintenance for the County of Ventura. Upon retirement, he attended Oxnard College and received his A.S. in drug and alcohol counseling. He also coached boxing, soccer, football and baseball well into his 70’s.
