QUANTICO, Va. -- On the weekend that marks the end of fighting in the Korean War, a life-sized war horse was unveiled at the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
The war horse, “Sergeant Reckless,” was used by U.S. Marines fighting in the conflict to carry ammunition to the front lines of battle. The horse also carried wounded Marines from the front lines to safety -- a task the horse did on her own even after being wounded.
“Reckless” was eventually brought to the U.S. to live out the remainder of her life following the end of the war.
