The story of Calvin Graham seems like the stuff of fiction, but it's not!
At 12 years old he runs away from home, dupes the Navy into him letting him enlist, and fights in the naval battle of Guadalcanal where he earns a Purple Heart! He is then turned in by his mother, thrown into the brig for three months, dishonorably discharged and stripped of his metals -- all before turning 14!
It's one of the most remarkable stories from World War II! This video covers his entire extraordinary life, including a special request on how we can him his much deserved Medal of Honor!
