~*`HONORING VETERANS~LETTER FROM A MARINE'S MOM`*~
I enjoyed reading this message. It has a superb ending. I will share it
with my family and circle of very special friends.
Thank you for sharing it.
I am a strong supporter of our uniformed warriors!
May God Bless Each and Every Military Personnel
`PRAYER FOR MILITARY MEMBERS AND FAMILIES!
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us. . . .
Bless them and their families for the less acts
they perform for us
In our time of need. In Jesus' name, Amen.'
Please read the whole thing....You'll love it! This is a true story.
Be reminded that "God Works in Mysterious Ways "
'Message From A Marine's Mom!
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 connected 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.
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
you and all our military service personnel.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND KEEP IT SAFE!
I'm not breaking this one. Prayer chain for our Military.. Don't break it!
May God bless each and every military personnel
`Prayer: 'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us. . . .
Bless them and their families for the less acts
they perform for us
In our time of need. In Jesus' name, Amen.'
Of all the gifts you could give a Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman,
& others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one.
