Semper Fi, Jack

| June 5, 2008

Back in April, I wrote about Jack Lucas who’d joined the Marines at 14 years old and was awarded the Medal of Honor at the age of 17 for actions on Iwo Jima. He succumbed to cancer today. He absorbed the blast from two Japanese grenades to protect his friends and then lived for another 65 years. Tip one up for him today.
