At just 17 years old, Private First Class Jacklyn Lucas became one of the youngest service members ever to receive the Medal of Honor. But his path to heroism was anything but ordinary. After lying about his age to join the Marines at just 14, Lucas would go on to defy the odds, stowing away on a ship to Iwo Jima, diving onto two grenades to save his fellow Marines, and miraculously surviving. In this episode, we recount the astonishing bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of a young man who refused to wait to serve his country. This is the unforgettable story of Jacklyn Lucas, a true American hero.
