🇺🇸🐦 **INTRODUCING THE AU MILITARY PIGEON SERIES**

The **American Racing Pigeon Union** is proud to introduce the first installment in our new **Military Pigeon Series**, created to preserve and share the extraordinary history of pigeons in military service.

**Volume (1)A: Wings of War**

Long before satellites, cell phones, and modern communications, pigeons carried critical messages across battlefields when other methods of communication were unavailable or had failed.

This presentation explores the role of pigeons during **World War I and World War II**, how military pigeons were trained and used, and the remarkable stories of legendary birds such as **Cher Ami and G.I. Joe**.

This is only the beginning. Future installments in the **AU Military Pigeon Series** will continue exploring the pigeons, people, missions, and stories that became part of military history.

📚 **Want a copy of Part One?**

The presentation is available **FREE** in both **PowerPoint and PDF formats** for AU clubs, members, educators, schools, youth groups, and community organizations.

👉 **Contact the AU Home Office to request your copy.**

Use it at a club meeting, school, community event, youth program, or anywhere you have an opportunity to share the incredible history and abilities of the pigeon.

Please share and help us keep their stories alive.

**Their mission was simple: Get the message home.**
