Jack Lucas


Hello again.

I do apologize for not making more frequent posts, but the current state of things has moved updating this site pretty far down on the list.

The reason for this post is a brand new news story stating WWII USMC hero Jack Lucas is gravely ill. Many of you have met Mr. Lucas at collector events around the country - he was just at the Show of Shows last February. Those of you who have met him, or heard him at a speaking engagement, know what a true badass he is.

He lied his way into the Corps at the age of 14 and earned the Medal of Honor before he was even 18 years old. He is a true American hero, and, sadly, I don't think they make them like that anymore...but I sure hope they do.

If anyone can pull out of this, it's Lucas, but I ask you keep he and his family in your thoughts at this time.

Read the news story here.
