Fast-talking, fourteen and fresh from boot-camp, Jack Harold Lucas was bound for glory. He was a fire plug of a kid who wanted to fight so badly, that he lied about his age in order to enlist, stowed away on a troopship to get into the war, and was technically missing when he got his first shot at combat. 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
Learn to drive a stick shift “If you do not drive a stick shift, you have no right to live in California.” I lived in California, but I did not drive a stick shift.
