We'll admit it: men in uniform make us swoon. And, as you know, adorable baby animals turn us to mush. So naturally, when you put the two together, we simply can't look away!
Three US Marines stationed in Afghanistan have taken it upon themselves to help out the kitties that captured their hearts. Brian Chambers, Chris Berry and Aaron Shaw,
with help from generous cat lovers and Nowzad Dogs Charity, have sent two of their beloved feline friends home to the States, reports Unique Scoop.

The once lost but now lucky ginger cats, Kiki and Keykey, (also pictured after the jump) have both been through quite a bit in their young lives. Both kittens had to be nursed back to heath for various issues while in Afghanistan, but now that they're in their new, loving stateside homes (Kiki in Houston, Texas with Chamber's parents and Keykey in Detroit, Mich. with Berry's folks), they should be able to live out the rest of their nine lives in comfort, cuddles and kibble.

Our guys are the best! Amidst the worst conditions you can imagine on this earth they not only think about themselves but are compassionate enough to care about kittens. You have to love them. All of them!
What a great story! Love men who love animals, thank you for making my day Brian Chambers, Chris Berry and Aaron Shaw! You are true men!
It doesn't come as a suprise to me. Everybody has a "soft side." Semper Fi, Guys. I wonder why we won't see this story on National News?
luv these happy stories - i worry about the poor animals in those inhumane countries!
That is so cute! I just sent a copy of it to my returned Iragi-veteran son (thank god!) that has 5 cats of his own that he treats like his kids!
Semper Fi!! I am a total animal lover and rescue cats and kittens all the time. Thank you Brian, Chris and Aaron for showing the world that though you choose to put your lives on the line everyday so we can live freely and without fear also have compassion for those little furry ones who are forgotten and cannot help themselves. I cannot image the conditions to which you live through everday but, from the bottom of my heart "Thank You" and god bless you all.
