This post is dedicated to Sgt.
Reckless, Korean warhorse that aided Marines, who isimmortalized in bronze at Triangle,
Va., near the grounds of the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
In March
1953, during the Battle of Outpost Vegas, the Mongolian mare made 51 roundtrips
in a single day, hauling 9,000 pounds of ammunition to the front lines without a handler on her own. She
earned her stripes that day and cemented her bond with the Marines around her."Quite
a horse, quite a horse," said Korean War veteran Mike Mason. "It's
kind of unbelievable, you know. You picture a horse, but she was truly a
Marine."
