The Phillipine Historical Association honors Corporal Magdalena Leones with a resolution “to recognize the heroism of Magdalena Leones, and to proliferate her life and deeds among its membership composed of teachers and historians. And in doing so, they may be able to teach her inspiring story to the younger generation and to restore her as one of the known heroes of our nation.”

That’s a pretty cool story. And she looks great.
Interested to find out what the colt’s name will be.
