During the Civil War 123 Medals of Honor were awarded for action "on the ground" in North Carolina.
World War II hero JACK LUCAS received the Medal of Honor for heroic sacrifice at Iwo Jima just 5 days after his 17th birthday...becoming the YOUNGEST American in this century to receive the award. At the time of his heroism he had already been in the Marine Corps for 3 YEARS!
