    What Timing

    I just watched a TV show called Mysteries at the Museum about a Carrier Pigeon named GI Joe in WWII an hour ago.
    GI Joe received a medal. After his service he happily spent his last days at the Detroit Zoo.
    After passing he is on display at a museum near IIRC Fort Monmouth, NJ.
    GI Joe saved hundreds from friendly bombing. Had he been minutes later upon arriving the planes would have been in the air.
