ON WINGS OF WAR: touching...

» Red - touching...

Joy, what a touching article. These birds are definitely heroes and I salute them. When we speak of veterans, we think of men, women and canines. Thanks so much for reminding us that these wonderful birds were veterans too.

We had a pair of pidgeons that lived nearby. The male never returned one day and the female grieved for days. She made the most pitiful cries ever heard. Now I know why. I wasn't aware that pidgeons mated for life. Sad to say, the female disappeared shortly after the male.

Thanks for sharing this great article with us. It was very informative and well written. I await your next article with eager anticipation.
