In honor of Veteran’s Day, meet Lucca, an amputee veteran who served six years in the United States Marine Corps as a Specialized Search Dog. During that time, she spent two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. She led “over 400 patrols,” all of which resulted in no injuries. For her first two tours she was accompanied by her handler, Gunnery Sgt. Chris Willingham.

In March of 2012, Lucca located a planted explosive while she was leading a patrol in Afghanistan with her second handler, Cpl. Juan Rodriguez. While protecting her platoon, a secondary explosive was detonated. Her fellow Marines were safe, but Lucca suffered burns and a major injury to her front left leg in the attack. Cpl. Rodriguez’s quick thinking got Lucca to safety. Lucca’s left front leg had to be amputated, but she recovered quickly and was walking just ten days after her surgery.

Lucca’s injury led to her retirement and shortly after, she was adopted by her original handler, Gunnery Sgt. Chris Willingham. Willingham credits Lucca with saving his life on numerous occasions, and now in her retirement Lucca gets to enjoy her days as a “family pet” with him. She even gets the booth seat when they go out to dinner!

Lucca also makes frequent visits to wounded warriors and veterans at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, where she “makes a dramatic impact on the lives of service members.” Lucca’s “unwavering positive attitude” serves as an inspiration to everyone she meets. Her amputation hasn’t thwarted her enthusiasm and positivity for life.

Lucca’s hard work and loyalty is the reason countless of service members returned home to their families safely.

And now, it’s Lucca’s turn to enjoy all of her days with her own family.

In 1986, the United Way attempted to break the world record for balloon launches, by releasing 1.5 million balloons, which resulted in two deaths, millions in lawsuits, and a devastating environmental impact.

My person.

Realizing I haven't been on in forever.

So I guess I’ll do an update on life

Cyrus and I are as good as ever, though life has thrown us some curve balls in the last couple weeks. His car blew up and I got into an accident and totaled mine. I loved my car. As he did his so this is actually rather tragic. I no longer have a car, but my parents have been nice enough to let me use one of theirs until I’m able to afford my own again. Cyrus paid 500 for an Oldsmobile. Basically we are just getting by. I’ve been applying for full time jobs, and though I’ve had interviews, nothing is worth me leaving my current job. Cyrus’ job is shit and he gets treated so unfairly but it pays more than mine so hey. Other than that, I’m now going to school online so I have more time to work. Oh and next week will be 4 years since Cyrus asked me to be his girlfriend. 😮 crazy. Time flies. Hope everyone else is doing good. :)

Yeah, I can’t help but reblog this. No matter how famous or tough you are, if a little kid is stoked on you… You stop and recognize that he is your biggest fan.

So I finally started my full sleeve yesterday, after wanting it for years. Its crazy that the people who treated me with respect 2 days ago now turn up their noses at me. including my family. How does a tattoo make me a different person?

Its not ok to judge someone based on their sexual preference, color, age, class or religion (etc), yet the people who preach that shit are the first to judge someone who choses to display art on their body.

I stand by my decisions and I love my tattoos.
