This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Cher Ami the Pigeon and WW I Hero-- Part 4: Remembered
To American school children of the 1920s and 1930s, Cher Ami was as well-known as any human World War I heroes.
Cher Ami's body was later mounted by a taxidermist and enshrined at the Smithsonian Institution. It is currently on display with the body of pitbull Sergeant Stubby in the National Museum of American History's "Price of Freedom" exhibit.
