Download Lucca's Booklet LUCCA DM 67 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL LUCCA DM 67 “For tireless service to the military communities of the United States of America and coalition partners from 2006 to 2012.” Date of Award: 5 April 2016 LUCCA’S STORY Lucca, a German Shepherd-Belgian Malinois cross, worked as a Specialized Search Dog with US Marine Corps for six years, completing tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. She successfully completed more than 400 individual missions during her time in service. She is credited with protecting thousands of human lives – not one human casualty was recorded under her watch. After training together, Lucca and Gunnery Sergeant Chris Willingham served together for two tours in Iraq. In 2007, they conducted clearing operations along the Tigris River, South of Baghdad. In 2008, they conducted counter insurgency operations around Diwaniyah. Lucca made several finds; including weapons caches, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and bombs. She was also directly responsible for the apprehension of four insurgents. In November 2011 Lucca and her new handler Corporal Juan Rodriguez were selected from 60 Military Working Dog teams to deploy to Afghanistan in support of the Marine Expeditionary Force. “NOT ONE HUMAN CASUALTY WAS RECORDED UNDER HER WATCH ...” Lucca and Cpl Rodriguez led 75 patrols in Helmand Province; an area heavily laden with IEDs. They were at the front of the patrols to ensure the safety of those behind them. Despite being targeted with gunfire on several occasions, they successfully continued their search for IEDs. On 7 March 2012, Lucca and Cpl Rodriguez were leading a foot patrol when Lucca gave an indication which Cpl Rodriguez quickly recognised, and he called the patrol to a halt. A pressure plate IED had been placed directly in the patrol’s line of travel. Once the IED was cleared, Lucca and Cpl Rodriguez led the patrol safely back to their base. On her final patrol, on 23 March 2012, Lucca discovered a 30lb IED and as she searched for additional devices , a second bomb detonated. She instantly lost her front left leg and suffered severe burns to her chest. Cpl Rodriguez administered life-saving first aid to Lucca. Miraculously, none of the soldiers in the patrol were injured in the blast which injured her. Lucca was airlifted to Germany to undergo further treatment and rehabilitation. Just ten days after the incident, Lucca was walking again. She was officially retired from service in 2012 and was adopted by her original handler, Gunnery Sergeant Chris Willingham. Lucca was awarded a PDSA Dickin Medal on 5 April 2016 – the first US Marine Corps dog to receive such an honour. Her citation reads: “For tireless service to the military communities of the United States of America and coalition partners from 2006 to 2012.” Her bravery was also recognised with an unofficial Purple Heart plaque and her story has since been turned into a book – Top Dog: The Story of Marine Hero Lucca by Maria Goodavage. DM THE PDSA DICKIN MEDAL The close relationship between humans and animals is rarely more profound than in times of conflict. Throughout history, animals have stood alongside humans in action and shown incredible bravery and devotion to duty when confronted with the horrors of war. Our founder, Maria Dickin, CBE, introduced the PDSA Dickin Medal on 2 December 1943, at the height of World War II. A tireless campaigner for animal welfare, Maria Dickin was determined to raise the status of animals in society and improve their care. The Medal was instituted to recognise outstanding acts of gallantry and devotion to duty displayed by animals serving with the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units in any theatre of war, throughout the world. Regarded worldwide as the animals’ Victoria Cross, the PDSA Dickin Medal is as inspirational and relevant today as it was 75 years ago. It is a fitting tribute to the gallant animals ‘who also served’ and whose remarkable contributions helped save countless lives. The highest honour any animal can receive, the Medal stands as testament to the Diligent, Resolute, Fearless, and Relentless qualities shown by animals in action.

    Happy Fish: A Novel Supplementation Technique to Prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia in Women in Rural Cambodia by Christopher V. Charles A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Christopher V. Charles, April, 2012 ABSTRACT HAPPY FISH: A NOVEL IRON SUPPLEMENTATION TECHNIQUE TO PREVENT IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN WOMEN IN RURAL CAMBODIA Christopher V. Charles Advisors: University of Guelph, 2012 Professor Alastair J.S. Summerlee Professor Cate E. Dewey Maternal and child undernutrition are a significant problem in the developing world, with serious consequences for human health and socio-economic development. In Cambodia, 55% of children, 43% of women of reproductive age, and 50% of pregnant women are anemic. Current prevention and control practices rely on supplementation with iron pills or large-scale food fortification, neither of which are affordable or feasible in rural Cambodia. In the study areas, 97% of women did not meet their daily iron requirements. The current research focuses on the design and evaluation of an innovative iron supplementation technique. A culturally acceptable, inexpensive and lightweight iron ingot was designed to resemble a fish species considered lucky in Khmer culture. The ingot, referred to as ‘try sabay’ or ‘happy fish’, was designed to supply iron at a slow, steady rate. Iron leaching was observed in water and soup samples prepared with the iron fish when used concurrently with an acidifier. More than 75% of daily iron requirements can be met with regular use. Its use in the common pot of soup or boiled water provides supplementation to the entire family.
