Cher Ami: A homing pigeon who saved 194 lives in World War I. He was shot through the breast, blinded in one eye, and had a leg hanging only by a tendon, but still delivered the message!

This pigeon was referenced in "The gentleman"
There's an animated movie about carrier pigeons in WW2. Think it's called Valiant.
What a bird. Thank you for your service, Cher Ami!
This pigeon was more honorable than most recent US presidents.
