Description
Jack Lucas earned the Medal of Honor at Iwo Jima six days past his 17th birthday. Calvin Graham enlisted at age 12 and was wounded at Guadalcanal aboard the USS South Dakota. His story was made into a movie starring Rick Schroder. A 13-year-old girl enlisted but was later discovered and sent home from Europe. General Eisenhower told her, ""Go home and grow up, little girl, we need more soldiers like you."" One underage veteran became a senator, another a governor, still another a Chief of Naval Operations. This book reveals why and how they got in, and what happened to them when they were there.
