"The roar and crack of the 90 mm tank rounds hammering Reno and Vegas was numbing. The rush of air that our 4.5-inch rocket ripples made passing overhead sounded like wild birds of vengeance... I looked through the flickering light at the hillside beyond and could hardly believe my eyes. In all that intense fire, in the middle of that chaos, the image of that small, struggling horse, putting everything she had into it, struggling up that ridge loaded with 75 mm rounds ... it was unbelievable." - Sergeant Harold E Wadley USMC (retired).
