Jack Lucas

In memory of my friend, Jack Lucas. It was such an honor to meet you in 2008. I am truly humbled to have been in your presence. I treasure the picture of us taken and appreciate you having me sit with you and Miss Ruby during dinner. The conversation was memorable! I will never forget your or your sacrifices. Semper Fidelis!

Fair seas and following winds my Marine Corps Brother. I just finished watching another biopic about your miraculous life & times. You are the most faithful and truest embodiment of what every aspiring Marine and future Marine dreams of becoming. You must have truly had angels hovering over you constantly. P.S. If you are not aware of this great American heroe's many death-defying accomplishments, then I highly recommend looking online. You will be flabbergasted! -Semper Fidelis

Saepe Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni. Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever. Thank you Jacklyn for your service to this nation. U.S. Marine Corps, WWII. Medal of Honor and Purple Heart recipient.

It's been years since you were called home to the Lord and I still miss you so much. We will meet again, Dear Friend...

I met Jack when he was with the 82d A/B Div, Ft Bragg, NC (early 1960s) He was visiting his wife who was my co-worker Tech Writer for Western Electric at the Reynolda Road Plant, Winston-Salem, NC. I was an alumnae of the 82d and we exchanged a few words. Great man! Maj R. Salmon, US Army Retd.

My step father is trying to get ahold of Mr. Lucas's family. If there is anyone on here who could assist me with this that would be great. My step father is a mgysgt retired and honors fallen heroes and would love to honor me Lucas at their next memorial ceremony. He would like the family to know he will be dedicating a tree for him at camp Hamilton veterans memorial park in Bakersfield ca. Please if anyone can pass my information on to his family or their information to me that would forever...

I just received my sons dog tags, he past 9yrs. & 9mos. ago. While reading them I noticed 2 were my sons, while a third read J. H. Lucas 20, Feb 1945.Research leeds me to believe my son carried this tag as an honor to Jack Lucas. I only wish I could ask my David about this, and hear his voice once more, with a hug to follow. God Bless!
