Iwo Jima: Jack Lucas

Private First Class Jack Lucas (another Medal of Honor recipient) was on patrol in Iwo Jima when suddenly, 2 grenades landed at his feet. He buried one into the ground with the butt of his rifle and grabbed the other and layed ON TOP of it. They exploded, and Jack went flying. He somehow lived through it. He then realized, while being dragged from the battlefield, that one didn’t explode. Later, he was on a hospital ship when the U.S. flag rose! The U.S. took control of most of the island! The battle to win that section of Iwo Jima was over!
