00:06cutting off their supplies and communication.

00:09And just when things couldn't get any worse,

00:11their own side started shelling them,

00:14thinking they were the enemy.

00:16The radios weren't working,

00:18so there was no way to send a message back to camp.

00:21They tried sending runners,

00:23but they were all shot or captured.

00:25Their last hope was a single remaining carrier pigeon.

00:29They tied a message to its leg

00:31and then sent it flying through enemy fire.

00:34The poor bird was shot through the chest,

00:36blinded in one eye and even lost a leg.

00:39Despite that, it kept flying 25 miles across the forest,

00:43successfully delivering the message.

00:45The shelling stopped and help arrived,

00:48saving the lives of 194 American soldiers.
