  • Jacklyn Harold "Jack" Lucas (14 February 1928 – 5 June 2008) was a United States Army captain who was awarded the Medal of Honor at age seventeen for heroism above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a Marine Corps private first class during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. During a close firefight in two trenches between Lucas and three Marines with eleven Japanese soldiers, Lucas saved the lives of the three Marines from two enemy hand grenades that were thrown into and lying in their trench by unhesitatingly placing himself on one grenade, while in the next instant pulling the other grenade under him. The grenade he first jammed into the black ash and soft sand with his rifle and covered with his body, exploded, and wounded him only; the other grenade did not explode. He is the youngest Marine and the youngest serviceman in World War II to be awarded the United States' highest military decoration for valor.
