On October 4, 1918, during World War I, Cher Ami, a homing pigeon used by the U.S. Army Signal Corps, delivered a crucial message that saved the lives of nearly 200 soldiers from the "Lost Battalion" of the 77th Division. Despite being injured in the process, Cher Ami successfully flew 25 miles in just 25 minutes to reach the command post, delivering the message that the battalion was surrounded and in need of rescue. For this heroic act, Cher Ami was awarded the French Croix de Guerre for bravery. Cher Ami later succumbed to its injuries but became a symbol of courage and devotion.
