This is so cute and heartwarming, I had to share...
In Afghanistan, in the midst of war, many animals are lost and separated from their family. Many are found later by troops from the US, UK and Canada. Soldiers rescue these animals and get help from rescue groups that help them send these animals out of the country and to a forever loving home that they deserve.
Three US marine soldiers, Brian Chambers, Chris Berry and Aaron Shaw, started a mission to help bring home the kittens they have befriended while serving in Afghanistan......... Read the full Story here...

It's good to know the soldiers are rescuing animals there, like they did in Iraq!

What a wonderful story and beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to show DH when he feels well enough to look at the computer. Those red babies look like my Speck did when he was a kitten.
