Comments: Just published, THEY CALLED HER RECKLESS -- A TRUE STORY OF WAR,
LOVE AND ONE EXTRAORDINARY HORSE, by Janet Barrett, is the full
story of the indomitable Korean pony who became the warhorse of
the 5th Regiment during the Korean War. Awarded two Purple Hearts
for wounds sustained during the Battle for Outpost Vegas, she
hauled ammo for recoilless rifles and mortar crews through three
days and nights in that harrowing conflict. Promoted to sergeant
(and later, staff sergeant), Reckless saved lives, raised
spirits, and was loved and respected by all who knew her. The
generous help of more than 60 Marines who served with her during
the Korea years and thereafter made this book possible. Thank you
all! 14 pages of photographs embellish her amazing story. Book is
available at various Marine Corps sites (including the Marine
Corps Association and the National Museum of the Marine Corps)
and on Amazon.com.
