Jack Lucas and the Battle of Iwo Jima

After Pearl Harbor, Jack Lucas was determined to join the fight in the Pacific. Despite being underage, he used ingenuity and bad behavior to find his way into a fight where he didn't last a day. The History Guy remembers a hero who had to fight to get into the fight.
