HR 132 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Lucca, honored

This bill is a ceremonial resolution honoring Lucca, a retired Marine Corps K9 war dog, for her service. It recognizes her role in 400+ missions detecting explosives during deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, her injury (losing a leg while disarming an IED in 2012), and her receipt of the Dickin Medal - the highest military animal honor. The resolution formally commends her "extraordinary heroism and sacrifice" and directs that a copy be presented to her handler, Gunnery Sergeant Chris Willingham. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or affect any legal rights or obligations.
