It seems amazing to me that he survived with just a blanket between he and a grenade. I bet he was a wonderful person and I'm glad he lived such a long, healthy, life. Thanks for posting it.


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Jack Lucas jumped on a grenade on Iwo Jima and lived to be an old man too.

Tough dude

A Bronze Star (back when they meant something), two Silver Stars, and a Medal of Honor.

Now that is impressive.
