Soldiers Save Kitten from Iraq Sandstorm

Staff Sgt. Jarrod K. of the U.S. Air Force gave us the story of how he and his fellow soldiers stopped everything to rescue a tiny kitten in the middle of a sandstorm in Iraq.

Jarrod was deployed to southern Iraq in 2007 as a .50-caliber machine gunner. His job was to patrol off base for 14 hours a day, six days a week. No matter what the weather, they were out there.

During a particularly bad sandstorm, he spotted what looked like a little muddy ball squirming around in a trash pile on the side of the road. The movement got the crewmembers' attention, so they stopped and got out for a closer look.

The muddy ball turned out to be a filthy, starving kitten in desperate need of help. The men scooped her up (she was so weak that she could barely stand) and brought her back to the truck. After washing her down with a few bottles of water, they discovered she was an adorable, mostly white kitten!
