However, this two-fisted punk managed to become the youngest American in history to receive the Medal of Honor. “On February 20, 1945, while fighting Japanese forces on Iwo Jima, the day after the invasion and a week after his seventeenth birthday, Lucas’ life was changed forever.”(Standring Pg.1) Quick to act under fire, Lucas purposely absorbed the shock of two enemy grenades in order to shield his companions. “By his inspiring action and

He already spoke Spanish and English, but he thought some day he might travel to France, where it was cool; not like Fresno, where summer days reached 110 degrees in the shade. There were rivers in France, and huge churches, and fair-skinned people everywhere, the way there were brown people all around Victor 2.

Before a performance at East Carolina University last fall, rapper Wiz Khalifa, as is his wont, encouraged prospective attendees of that night's stop on the Waken Baken Tour to "fall thru wit ur finest plant life." That is, as he posted on his Twitter account, bring your weed. Soon after that show, and just as his soon-to-be mega-hit "Black and Yellow" began picking up steam, he was arrested for possession of 60 grams of marijuana.

That night two thousand supporters and a large press television corps turned out at the Mason Temple to here an address by the 20th century most peaceful warrior. Dr. King was reluctant to appear that night but he finally decided that he would do it because the crowed was demanding to hear from King so he made his appearance out of sake for the people who so dearly loved him.

You come into America, by air, by sea, or via a midnight sneak-in across the Mexican border; fooling the Minute Men and Lou Dobbs all at once. You come to school, to join your spouse, to work after winning the Green Card Lottery, or to raise your hand at the airport and claim persecution in your own country because you are a Mormon as well as a leader in MEND.You behold America the beautiful. The triple-decker burgers and the giant cup of coke and cars that are wider than your village road and you wonder what took you so long to get here. You get on with schooling. For now any cheap school will do.
