                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 24, 2014

  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize 
Robin Lea Hutton, President of Angels Without Wings, Inc., a non-profit 
corporation dedicated to giving relief to the poor, the distressed and 
underprivileged, and honoring those people and groups who help others 
in need.
  It is through her leadership and vision that Angels Without Wings has 
spearheaded the development and dedication of a national memorial 
monument to the remarkable Korean War hero horse, Sgt. Reckless. This 
memorial serves to honor all animals that have served our country in 
times of war--whether as mascots for our servicemembers, or ammunitions 
carriers, like Sgt. Reckless.
  Ms. Hutton has also brought further recognition to these animals by 
authoring Sgt. Reckless: America's War Horse. This book tells the 
incredible story of Reckless, who is listed in Life Magazine's 
``Celebrate our Heroes,'' as one of our all-time great heroes and whose 
antics make her a revered part of the history and lore of the United 
States Marine Corps.
  For her patriotic service and exceptional work, Ms. Hutton is being 
bestowed with the Patriotic Citizen of the Year award and will receive 
the Silver Patrick Henry medal from the Conejo Valley Chapter of the 
Military Order of the World Wars.
  It is my honor to offer my sincere congratulations to Ms. Hutton on 
this special occasion and to thank her for her dedication to telling 
the story of America's war horse.
