Jacklyn H. Lucas : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jacklyn H. Lucas
Jacklyn Harold "Jack" Lucas (14 February 1928 – 5 June 2008) was a United States Marine who received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during the Iwo Jima campaign — for unhesitatingly trying to muffle the blast of a grenade, and pulling another grenade under himself to save his comrades. One of the grenades exploded, and Lucas absorbed the entire blasting force of it with his own body. Lucas, the youngest Marine ever to receive the United States' highest military decoration, survived and was presented the award by President Harry S. Truman at the White House on Friday, 5 October 1945. ==Early years== Lucas was born in Plymouth, North Carolina on 14 February 1928. He attended high school at nearby Edwards Military Institute in Salemburg and was captain of the football team. He was an all-around sportsman, also taking part in baseball, softball, basketball, boxing, wrestling, horseback riding, trap and skeet shooting, and hunting.
