In October 1918 during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, carrier pigeon Cher Ami flew 25 miles through German gunfire to deliver coordinates of the trapped 77th 'Lost Battalion' to friendly forces; despite being shot through the chest, blinded in one eye, and losing a leg, she successfully delivered the message 'For heaven's sake, stop it,' which saved 194 soldiers' lives and earned her the Croix de Guerre as a decorated war hero.
