Staff Sergeant Reckless (1957)

While at Camp Pendleton in 1957 as CO 5th Marines, I had the honor of conducting a ceremony promoting "Sgt Reckless" to "Staff Sergeant". She had returned from Korea with the Regiment. The promotion was a fitting tribute to a dedicated faithfull Marine. "Reckless", then a symbol of courage to those who served with the 5th Marine Regiment in the 1950's is now a legend of Marine Corps History.
