Cher Ami a Veteran of World War I --- Zazzle

Cher Ami (meaning "Dear Friend" in French) was a pigeon. He was a bird of war during World War I. In October 1918, he flew out an all-important message from the "Lost Battalion" despite being shot, and thus saved 200 soldiers. His life was very harrowing. Here is an excerpt from the HomeofHeroes.com website:
"The Black Check Cock carrier pigeon was one of 600 birds owned and flown by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in France to carry important messages from the front lines. Already the pigeon had flown 11 important missions in the American sector around Verdun."

More of his story may be found on the following LINK.

Cher Ami was wounded by shrapnel. Everything the medics could do to help him survive and thrive was done for him. He was honored with a medal from France. General Pershing of the USA bid him farewell as he departed on a ship to retire in the USA. He did ultimately die as a result of his injuries the following year 1919.

National Pollinators Week - Zazzle

NO PESTICIDES BEYOND THIS POINT yard sign by WebofLifeYardSigns

June 17th through the 23rd is National Pollinators Week! Bees, birds, butterflies, bats, beetles, and other pollinators play a critical, behind-the-scenes role in the world we live in. Many of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts we love to eat would not be available were it not for the work pollinators do. Ninety percent of flowering plants rely on polinators. Without these unsung heroes we wouldn't have apples, bananas, melons, peaches, even our morning coffee would be gone! These unsung heroes serve a very valuable role and now they need our help.

Bees around the world are disappearing. Whole hives are suddenly dying off. Thirty one percent of hives in the United States collapsed this past winter alone. Scientists have linked a class of pesticides called "neonics" to this rapid decline in bees. European officials have enacted a moratorium on the use of these pesticides and we are asking the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to do the same.

I sent the message; you can too at the Endangered Species Coalition site.
