This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, whose courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We also reflect on the legacy of Sergeant Reckless, the remarkable mare who served with the U.S. Marines during the Korean War. Carrying ammunition into battle and bringing wounded soldiers to safety, she became a trusted and beloved companion to those around her. In recognition of her extraordinary courage, Sgt. Reckless was promoted to Staff Sergeant and awarded two Purple Hearts, along with numerous other military honors.

Today, we remember and honor every hero🇺🇸🐴
