In 1959, Sergeant Reckless—a decorated Korean War horse—was promoted to Staff Sergeant at Camp Pendleton. Honored with a 19-gun salute and a 1,700-Marine parade, she became one of the few animals in U.S. history to hold official military rank. #AnimalsHistory

Sergeant Reckless – a war horse for the Marines during the Korean War - gave everything she had. The mare carried both ammunition and wounded soldiers from the front lines. She was given two Purple Hearts along with many other military decorations for her service.

We lost an architectural giant yesterday. Known for sculptural icons like the Bilbao Museum, he was shaped early by the art world. I always admired his “decompositionalist” phase: Aerospace Museum, Loyola Law school, Schnabel Residence, simple forms arranged into bold complexity.
