War Horse: Why USMC “Sgt. Reckless” deserves honor in Arlington

from Eye on Veterans · host CBS News

Sgt. Reckless is more than just a horse. Carrying ammo through explosive battlefields, she saved thousands of Marines during the Korean War in the early 1950s. In a research paper, Marine Corps veteran Dylan Clark documented her case and why she legally has the right to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His paper inspired animal and environmental attorney Jamie McLaughlin to create the current Change.org petition and push the DoD to give this Marine veteran the honors she earned.Sign the petition herehttps://www.change.org/p/give-decorated-u-s-war-horse-the-burial-she-deservesFor more on SSgt Recklesshttps://sgtreckless.com/VA UPDATE: PACT Act Claims deadlineMany veterans have heard the window for filing their toxic exposure claims is closing soon.  We talked about it with Army combat veteran and VA Press Secretary, Terrence Hayes who shared how vets will always be entitled to their service-related care and benefits, but vets who file now may be able to receive more money.More on PACT Act, VA toxic exposure claims herehttps://www.va.gov/resources/the-pact-act-and-your-va-benefits/Best Cities for VeteransMost veterans have spent time all over the world.
