Touching Photos from War Zones That May Just Warm Your Heart

Kitten Love

While war can be tragic and you can encounter some dark moments on the battlefield, this soldier took a little time-out. Here you can see him breathing some new life into this orphaned kitten and feeding it with a small tube. The touching photo was taken during the Korean War where Sergeant Frank Praytor was serving as a combat correspondent in the Marines, and he actually adopted the kitten after the mother died in the war.

In 2009 the photo was published and soon after, it went viral all over the world. After featuring in some major publications, the photo attracted a great deal of attention from fans and he even received a few marriage proposals. After spending some brief time back in the US, Praytor returned to Korea to write for Stars and Stripes, and he was reunited with the kitten. Our touching story had an unfortunate ending though, as Praytor passed away in New Mexico in 2018.
