In 1919, an animal named Cher Ami received the Croix de Guerre medal for bravery for her part in saving American soldiers' lives in World War I. What kind of animal was Cher Ami?
Answer A pigeon
As her name suggests, Cher Ami was indeed a friend to American troops. After two other birds were shot down, she weaved through gunfire to deliver a lifesaving message to a group of soldiers saying: "We are along the road parallel to 276.4. Our own artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us. For heaven’s sake, stop it."
