Melissa Culbreth’s hair during a party held in her honor to shave her head at Serenity Grace Farm Oct. 12, 2014. Culbreth, who is the brigade chaplain for the 449th Theater Aviation Brigade, recently started chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer for a third time and said she wanted to take her hair on her own terms before she lost it as a side effect of the chemo.
