This Medal Of Honor Recipient Snuck Into The Corps At 14 And Defied Death…Twice
By Sarah Sicard
on September 12, 2017


If there’s one thing you could say about Marine and soldier Jacklyn H. Lucas, it’s that he was a stubborn kid whose determination earned him the highest honor awarded in the military and two close calls with death. It’s been 72 years since he became the youngest Marine to receive the Medal of Honor at only 17, and Lucas is still remembered for being indestructible.
