A Pigeon Saved a Batallion of soldiers

🕊️ The pigeon that saved an entire army…
💥 Trapped. Surrounded. Bombed by their own men.
🇺🇸 October 1918 – the Lost Battalion of 500+ US soldiers was stranded in France’s Argonne Forest. They had no food, no reinforcements — and worst of all…
⚠️ Friendly fire was killing them.

They tried sending runners. All were shot.
They released pigeons.
🥀 First? Shot.
🥀 Second? Dead.
Then came Cher Ami.

Despite being:
❌ Shot in the chest
❌ Blinded in one eye
❌ Leg hanging by a tendon…

She flew 25 miles in 25 minutes 🕊️
💌 Delivered the coordinates.
🎯 The shelling stopped.
✨ 194 lives were saved.

Cher Ami was treated by medics.
🏅 Received France’s Croix de Guerre with Palm.
🗽 Now preserved in the Smithsonian Museum.
She didn’t wear a uniform, but she served.

⚔️ Real heroes don’t always walk on two legs.
📽️ Watch till the end.
👇 Honor her memory 👇
