Medal of Honor recipient Jack H. Lucas's classic memoir of his heroics at the Battle of Iwo Jima--with a foreword by Bob Dole and reissued to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the battle in 2020.

On February 20, 1945, the second day of the assault on Iwo Jima--one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific theater in World War II--Private Jack Lucas, who was only seventeen, and three other Marines engaged in a close-proximity firefight with Japanese soldiers. When two enemy grenades landed in their trench, Lucas jumped on one and pulled the other under his body to save the lives of his comrades. Lucas was blown into the air as his body was torn apart by 250 entrance wounds. He was so severely wounded that his team left him for dead. Miraculously, he survived.

While on the hospital ship Samaritan, his spirit soared to see the American flag flying atop Mount Suribachi--the same flag immortalized in Joe Rosenthal's iconic photograph, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. Lucas endured twenty-one grueling surgeries and carried 200 pieces of shrapnel in his body for the rest of his life. Awarded the Medal of Honor, he became the youngest Marine in U.S. history--and the youngest of all World War II servicemen--to receive the honor.

Indestructible tells the remarkable story of an extraordinary American possessed with a fierce determination to serve his country.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FINALLY! A toy that can handle my furry demolition expert!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
Let me tell you about Moxie, my 97-pound Rottweiler who has made it her life's mission to destroy every single toy that dares enter our home. This girl has teeth that could probably open cans and jaws that make nutcrackers jealous. I've spent more money on "indestructible" dog toys than I care to admit, only to find sad little pieces scattered across my living room within hours. BUT THEN... enter the Tikaton Indestructible Dog Chew Toy! 🎉 I'll be honest - I bought this with zero expectations. Just another victim for Moxie's reign of terror, right? WRONG! This bone has been in our house for THREE MONTHS and it's still going strong! Sure, Moxie has made some progress (she's persistent, I'll give her that), but this thing is holding up like a champ against her industrial-strength chompers. The best part? Moxie is absolutely OBSESSED. She carries this bone around like it's her precious treasure, gnawing away contentedly for hours. It's given my furniture, shoes, and sanity a much-needed break! Pros: Actually lives up to the "indestructible" claim (mostly!) Keeps my destruction-loving pup busy for hours Great value - lasting months instead of minutes No weird smell or toxic materials Cons: Nothing is truly indestructible when facing Hurricane Moxie, but this comes pretty darn close! Fellow owners of canine wrecking balls - THIS IS THE ONE! Your wallet and your home will thank you. Update: Month 4 and still chewing! Moxie approves this message with enthusiastic tail wags.

Our Belgian Malinois loves them, her favorite is the beef, as you can see. They last several months, we swap them out around the 3 to 4 month mark.

Great buy-read update
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
My dog loved it right away. Kept going from his old bone to this one and finally just stuck with this one. My dog is a 90 pound 1.5 year old German Shepherd. The size is fine. I don’t know what the other people were talking about when they said the large was too small for big dogs. It’s not indestructible, after one day there were serious gouges on it, but it looks like it’s going to last quite awhile. I will say, he’s not able to gnaw off little pieces of it, and that’s a great thing. I couldn’t give it five stars, because we just received it, and the dog has only had it for a few days. So it’s 4 stars. ****UPDATE**** As of Jan. 1, 2021, the bone is in the trash. The thing seemed to get softer and come apart more easily the more he chewed. I was finding little pieces all over and god only knows much of it he swallowed. Now I give it 3 stars.

Yes it's for aggressive chewers
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium
I have 2 dogs a malti poo and 120 lb pit rotty mix. My son just moved in with his 8 month old pitty/ 90 lbs. needless to say we have purchased sooo many bones and toys, always have to have bones for them all or they argue and fight. This bone we have had for about 8 -9 days.. They all chew on it non stop and it is still fully intact with a few rough areas where they chewed up the suface. The picture was taken today. But keep in mind they will typically go through a large elk antler ($40) in about 4-5 days.. down to splinters. but not this bone. I got the beef. It does have a slight smell, kind of beefy but no worse than some other bones we bought. Only noticed it taking it out of the package. They all enjoy it. I was worried they wouldn't be interested because it's fake.. but no. I will definitely purchase a few more cuz when someone isn't home the pitty will chew shoes or remotes, etc. Every day was a new surprise. But he hasn't touched anything since we got this bone. I would definitely recommend for aggressive chewers and the price is reasonable.
