A special ceremony is being held in London Tuesday to honor a United States war hero for her sacrifice on the battlefield. Lucca is a German Shepherd that served with Marines to clear explosives in war zones. Her efforts protected thousands of troops, before a bomb ended her service. Debora Patta reports from Wellington Barracks in London.

I love the fact that her handler refused to leave her side I reckon all he saw a wounded marine who needed someone to stand watch

Our family adopted a retired bomb sniffer shepherd. His name was Black Hawk. We called him Hawk for short. He protected my kids and filled our household with great memories and love.

I was a Marine Canine handler.... Those dogs are so incredibly brave... I owe my life every day to a dog, and I'm not afraid to admit it!

I think there should be a "Good boy/girl" medal for dogs. Anyone else?
