Sergeant Reckless

Sergeant Reckless joined the Marine Corps as a packhorse in 1952, and she earned an official rank due to her service in battle. She was also the only horse to ever participate in one of these. She traveled with marines and was known for her unusual taste in food, enjoying beer and even this breakfast dish. Here, Sergeant Reckless is seen eating cake during the Marine Corps 179th birthday dinner, where she was a guest of honor before retirement.
