In 2003,
military police named the principal detainee holding camp in Iraq "
Camp Bucca". At the
National September 11 Memorial, Bucca is memorialized at the South Pool, on Panel S-14, along with those of other first responders killed in the attacks. DIA honors Bucca each year through an annual award named after him. The award is given to a military reservist who demonstrates excellence in fulfilling the counterterrorism mission, the area that Bucca worked while at DIA. Bucca's son, Ron Bucca Jr. joined the
Green Berets at age 23, motivated to pursue terrorists like those responsible for the death of his father. ==References==
