Hello folks! Time to put things to rest regarding the Ghost Plane From Mindanao, Purportedly this P-40 Warhawk was shot down over China in 1942. Incredibly this fable has endured for 80 years. Much like Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) leading a Marine invasion during WWII and Mister Rogers being a Vietnam sniper thanks to the internet it continues to live on. My original story appeared in American Legion Magazine 1993 well before the internet. The link is here. https://archive.legion.org/node/1484
Ill' parse it out over several postings but this story is strictly a fabrication of Colonel Scott. Possibly for wartime propaganda purposes. Also check out my page "Before Pearl Harbor."

Rest easy K9 Mike

Lucca was a true hero.

It’s with a heavy heart that I tell you that Lucca passed away yesterday. Juan was able fly in to spend some quality time with her in her last few days and we were both at her side as she took her last breath.

Lucca served in Marine Corps for 6 years. Her service included 2 deployments to Iraq and 1 to Afghanistan. She led over 400 hundred patrols and saved countless lives, mine and Juan’s included. In retirement, she became an ambassador for the Military Working Dog (MWD) community and brought awareness regarding the service and sacrifice of our MWDs and their handlers.

Lucca truly was a special dog. Juan and I are both fortunate to have served as her handlers. We will forever be grateful for her service and companionship. After her injury, we did our best to keep her spoiled during her well-deserved retirement. We truly appreciate the time we were able to share with Lucca. Lucca’s incredible personality and spirit left a lasting impression on us and countless others who knew her.

Never above you, never below you, always beside you

Rest in Peace Lucca, we love you.

-Chris
