“They Called Her Reckless”
Janet Barrett, author of They Called Her Reckless will discuss this true story about a group of U.S. Marines and a Mongolian Pony they named Reckless, August 10th at 1:00pm. According to Barrett, “This is a true story of war, love and one extraordinary horse.” When the U.S. Marine Fifth Regiment’s Recoilless Rifle Platoon acquired a small pony to haul ammunition up the steep hills to the front lines, what they got was a real life hero, Reckless, the courageous and indomitable warhorse who stood with her buddies for two years during the Korean War, saving many lives, raising spirits, and winning the love and respect of all who knew her. She was awarded two purple hearts for wounds sustained and became Sargent Reckless.
