Village Vets
Our scheduled speaker for our July
27 meeting will be Robin Hutton,
from the Camp Pendleton Historical
Society, who will be talking about Sgt
Reckless and other military animals.
Sgt Reckless is considered America's
greatest war horse and is the only horse
in U.S. history to be promoted to the
rank of sergeant. Reckless was a small
mare who, during the Korean War, would carry ammunition to
the front lines and then carry wounded soldiers back to safety.
She did this mostly by herself while under heavy enemy fire.
Robin has written two books: Sgt Reckless: America' s War Horse
and War Animals: e Unsung Heroes of World WII.
