  • Iwo Jima's Jack Lucas
    Iwo Jima’s Jack Lucas Lucas, the son of a North Carolina tobacco farmer, had first enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves on Aug. 8, 1942, just over eight months after the United States entered World War II following the infamous Japanese attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. He was 14 at the time and was only able to sign up with the Marines after forging his mother's signature on a parental consent form, which said he was 17, and bribing a notary to sign it. "My father died when I was 11 years old and I became kind of a tough kid after that to handle," Lucas said in a recorded interview decades later, which you can watch in its entirety at https://youtu.be/_aGhPjeayJY . "My mother couldn't handle me [and] sent me off to military school." "I was kinda devastated when we got the news that all those people suffered there at Pearl Harbor," he continued. "That very day, a cold chill ran down my spine and I just became obsessed that I had to do something." With the Marines, unaware of his true age, the teenager, who had just recently completed eighth grade, quickly went to boot camp at the famous Marine training base at Parris Island in South Carolina. After being assigned to a succession of training units, where he was ultimately qualified to be a heavy machine gun crewman, Lucas was eventually sent to join the 6th Base Depot, part of the V Amphibious Corps, at Pearl Harbor in 1943.

  • SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT February 2016
    MILITARY SEA SERVICES MUSEUM, INC. SEA SERVICES SCUTTLEBUTT February 2016 A message from the President Greetings, I hope everyone had a wonderful time over the holidays. The Museum had an exceptional financial year in 2015. Income was about $24,000 thanks to a large donation from the USS WORCESTER Association and several large donations from Museum members and friends. In 2014 our income was about $10,000. In years prior to that our income and expenses were closely matched in the $5000 - $8300 range. By keeping our 2015 expenditures to only John Cecil mandatory payments such as insurance, alarm system, and utility bills we were able to add to our savings and accumulated sufficient funds to contract for the Museum’s front entrance renovation project. The renovations were nearly complete in January and we were already seeing an increase in visitors. Only the hand rails on the ramp and steps remained. Then we received very bad news!!! The Sebring building inspector informed us that the ramp did not meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. The contractor started demolishing part of the ramp and we expect the ramp will be rebuilt and pass all inspections by mid-March. Inside, replacing the paneled wall with a new dry wall on the quarterdeck; new window treatments in the library; new windows in bathrooms and gift shop; new fans in library, gift shop, and office; and updated wiring are completed and paid for. Other improvements such as installing shelving, new smoke detectors, and improving displays are on-going. I hope everyone has a healthy and prosperous 2016.

Benjamin Galu Willis of Leone, American Samoa Whose names are engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall at Arlington, Virginia And to my Pacific Islands brothers and sisters of American Samoa who had served in the Vietnam War 2 Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to the Vietnam Veterans of Samoa who shared their stories with me. It took a lot of courage for them to open their heart and souls and reveal their personal stories and relive horrifying memories of a war that they would rather leave behind in the abyss of their memories. By telling their stories, they have assisted in my endeavor to make known to the world the sacrifices of Pacific Islanders in the United States military. Here, the stories are about Pacific Islanders, more specifically Samoans in the Vietnam War. I thank each and every one of them. Their heartfelt cooperation exceeded my expectations. I also am grateful to Dr. Terence Wesley-Smith, the Director of the Center for Pacific Islands Studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and chair of the Center’s graduate program and members of the graduate committee for accepting me into their program.
