Is this passage relevant???[edit]

Only one soldier and one Marine have received the Medal of Honor since the beginning of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there has been debate about why there have been so few recipients of the nation’s highest award for valor.

this is way too opinionated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terminator950model113 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Lucas and the helmet[edit]

I can't find any documentation that he used a helmet to cover the grenades. In an interview I found on Youtube, he states he covered them with his body. The main wikipedia article on him does not discuss this helmet. As far as I've seen so far, the reference to the helmet exists only this article since it's inception. Does anyone have evidence to the contrary? 2601:283:8480:EF60:C42D:7414:91DE:6275 (talk) 22:49, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
