Wouldn't every Marine prefer 🥓 and 🍳 to 🍎 and 🥕 for breakfast? Wouldn't anybody? 😉

What a great bit of history! Other than Col Potter's horse on *MASH*, I never knew any horse was a member of the Allied Troops in Korea. Reckless was amazing. Thank you for keeping her memory alive, Tara Ross!

Thank you Tara for again remembering a war horse who was the fighting mascot of the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. Her bravery and dedication to duty were remarkable and she was loved by all. Staff Sergeant Reckless will always be remembered by the Marine Corps.

Tara. That was a perfect way to start my day. I am going to stand a flagline today on an overpass on I-40 as riders in Run For The Wall head to Washing DC to bring attention to Veterans, POW, and honoring those who are no longer able to ride. Reckless is a humbling story of heroism, by a horse serving her fellow Marines. You provide such a valuable and heartfelt service by bringing these stories to us, so we may remember them, tell their stories, and say their names. Honoring our veterans and respecting the freedom we enjoy every day as Americans. Thank you again. I would encourage everyone to look up RFTW and read about this event. I have ridden with men who were POWs in Vietnam and Iraq. Men were left in Laos and their families never received the closure they deserved. This group of riders brings attention to these issues. Thank you so much Tara.

I'm riding back down today to stanf on the overpass as the riders with Central Route go through on I-40. They leave Ontario CA this morning along with another large pack that will travel east on I-10. Cental Route will turn north in NM and catch I-70 to continue east. All three land in DC on the same day. Thank you for your kind remarks...

Love this horse story! Animals are heroes too. Reckless was definitely in class of her own. She would have raised the Marines’ morale a lot. Thanks, Tara!

Now that is a great horse story! And what a different way to serve instead of being rode into battle! She was a Mud Marine! Thanks, Tara for the inspiration this morning!
