The Camp Pendleton monument is unveiled by John Newsom (red shirt), Mike Mason (white hat), Art Sickler, and Debbie McCain. Newsom and Mason served with Reckless in Korea. Art Sickler was her handler for two years at Camp Pendleton. Debbie McCain grew up with Reckless and her three colts on the base.
The Camp Pendleton Historical Society in Oceanside, CA was instrumental in making this monument happen. A special thanks goes out to Col Richard Rothwell (whose father promoted Reckless to Staff Sergeant the first time at CP) who spearheaded this whole campaign.
