Video - Pigeons of the Argonne: Unsung Heroes

Did you know that the Battle of Argonne Forest during World War I was one of the most brutal and intense battles in history? Picture this: soldiers fighting in a dense, dark forest with trenches and barbed wire everywhere. At one point, American troops got so lost in the chaos that they accidentally ended up behind enemy lines! And get this—carrier pigeons were used to send messages because radio signals couldn't get through the thick forest. One pigeon named Cher Ami even saved nearly 200 lives by delivering a crucial message despite being injured. Now, that's some serious bird power! So, ever thought a pigeon could be a war hero?
