Tampons to the rescue in Iraq !! Don't worry, it's a good story, and worth
reading. It's even humorous in parts. It's from the mother of a Marine in
Iraq .

My son told me how wonderful the care packages we had sent them from the
ladies auxiliary were and wanted me to tell everyone thank you.

He said that one guy we'll call Marine X, got a female care package and
everyone was giving him a hard time. My son said, 'Marine X got some
really
nice smelling lotion and everyone really likes it, so every time he goes
to
sleep they steal it from him.' I told my son I was really sorry about the
mistake, and if he wanted I would send Marine X another package. He told
me
not to worry about Marine X because every time I send something to him, he
shares it with Marine X.

He said when my husband and I sent the last care package, Marine X came
over
to his cot picked up the box, started fishing through it, and said,
'What'd
we get this time?'

But my son said they had the most fun with Marine X's package. He said he
wasn't sure who it was supposed to go to, but the panties were size 20,
and
he said one of the guys got on top of the Humvee and jumped off with the
panties over his head and yelled, 'Look at me, I'm an Airborne Ranger!!!!'

One of the guys attached the panties to an antenna and it blew in the wind
like a windsock. He said it entertained them for quite awhile. Then of
course...... .they had those tampons. When he brought this up, my
imagination
just went running, but he continued.

My son said they had to go on a mission and Marine X wanted the Chap-Stick
and lotion for the trip. He grabbed a bunch of the items from his care
package and got in the Humvee. As luck would have it he grabbed the
tampons
too, and my son said everyone was teasing him about 'not forgetting his
feminine hygiene products.'

He said things went well for a while, then the convoy was ambushed and a
Marine was shot. He said the wound was pretty clean, but it was deep. He
said they were administering first aid but couldn't get the bleeding to
slow
down, and someone said, 'Hey! Use Marine X's tampons!' My son said they
put
the tampon in the wound. At this point my son profoundly told Me, 'Mom,
did
you know that tampons expand?' ('Well.....yeah! ')

They successfully slowed the bleeding until the guy got better medical
attention. When they went to check on him later, the surgeon told them,
'You
guys saved his life. If you hadn't stopped that bleeding he would have
bled
to death.' My Son said, 'Mom, the tampons sent by the Marine Moms by
mistake
saved a Marine's life.'

At this point I asked him, 'Well, what did you do with the rest of the
tampons?'

He said, 'Oh, we divided them up and we all have them in our flak jackets,
and I kept two for our first aid kit.'

I am absolutely amazed by the ingenuity of our Marines. I can't believe
that
something that started out as a mistake then turned into a joke, ended up
saving someone's life. My sister said she doesn't believe in mistakes. She
believes God had a plan all along. She believes that 'female care package'
was sent to Marine X to save our Marine.

Either way, our efforts have boosted the morale of many Marines, provided
much needed items for our troops, AND saved the life of a Marine! God
bless
every one of you for your efforts and hard work, and God bless our
Marines,
Army, Navy, Air Force and all our military service personnel.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND KEEP IT SAFE!
