The other day, Jack Lucas passed away.  He was one of the Marine Corps MOH winners from WWII.  He won the award on Iwo Jima, protecting his brother Marines from two Japanese grenades.  He carried about 250 pcs of shrapnel from those injuries.  He was 17 at the time.

There is a nice post here for more details of his life, and exploits.
