From now on, I want to share these things on this blog.
Today, it was these photos from "Cats & the Sea Service" and just how adorable are they!?
It makes me just that little bit happier knowing there is proof that even the hardest manly men of war can have soft spots for widdle biddle kitties :)
You can check out the rest of the gallery here
"War
Veteran - 'Pooli', who rates three service ribbons and four battle stars,
shows she can still get into her old uniform as she prepares to celebrate her
15th birthday. The cat served aboard an attack transport during World War
II." Los Angeles, 1959
"Accepting
her fate as an orphan of war, 'Miss Hap' a two-week old Korean kitten chows
down on canned milk, piped to her by medicine dropper with the help of Marine
Sergeant Frank Praytor ... The Marine adopted the kitten after its mother was
killed by a mortar barrage near Bunker Hill. The name, Miss Hap, Sergeant
Praytor explained, was given to the kitten 'because she was born at the wrong
place at the wrong time'." Korea, ca 1953
