Jacklyn H. Lucas
Private First Class Jacklyn Harrell Lucas (born 1928) was a United States Marine who earned the Medal of Honor during the Iwo Jima campaign for unhesitatingly hurling himself over his comrades upon one grenade and for pulling another one under himself, absorbing the whole blasting force of the explosions with his own body.
