True story, I never realized that the
Marines in Korea had their own version of War Horse.
Reckless- a Marine Hero!
This is a very heart warming horse story that should be told.
Reckless was a pack horse during the Korean war, and
she carried recoilless rifles, ammunition and supplies to Marines. Nothing
too unusual about that, lots of animals got pressed into doing pack chores
in many wars.
But this horse did something more….during the battle for a location called
Outpost Vegas, this mare made 50 trips up and down the hill, on the way up
she carried ammunition, and on the way down she carried wounded soldiers…
What was so amazing? Well she made every one of those trips through enemy
fire and without anyone leading her.
Here’s of her story and photos to prove where she was and what she did…. HERE
