Panties size 20

Read the whole thing . . .True story! Be reminded that "God Works in Mysterious Ways".

(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. 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 HER SAFE!

I'm not breaking this one. If I get it a 1000 times, I'll forward it a 1000 times! Let us pray!

Prayer chain for our Military. Don't break it! Please send this on after a short prayer for our soldiers. Prayer: 

'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need, in Jesus' name. Amen.'

Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world. There is nothing attached. Just send this to people in your address book. Do not let it stop with you. Of all the gifts you could give a Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one.

ONE FLAG, ONE LANGUAGE, ONE NATION UNDER GOD!

Trump Surges in the south ... Thx

Exclusive Newsmax Poll: Trumps Surges, Walker Slips in South An exclusive Newsmax poll released Tuesday shows businessman Donald Trump sweeping to a commanding lead among Republican presidential candidates across the South, with retired pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson surging in popularity. Sponsor Trump, who has led in the polls since his campaign began on June 16, finished with 28 points in the exclusive Newsmax-Southern Political Report Survey conducted by OpinionSavvy. The billionaire developer leads all other candidates from the region, including former southern Govs. Jeb Bush (Florida) and Mike Huckabee (Arkansas), current Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and Sens. Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), Ted Cruz (Texas), Marco Rubio (Florida) and Rand Paul (Kentucky). The Atlanta-based OpinionSavvy research firm surveyed 5,728 adults in 12 Southern states on Sunday and Monday, and its results have a margin of error of 1.3 percent. Bush finished in a familiar second place with 18 percent. Carson is third with 10 percent. The remaining 14 GOP contenders ended in single digits.

Click Here to Learn More.The Newsmax poll results contrast with Trump's national showing of 24 percent in the Real Clear Politics average of polls, versus 13 percent for Bush and 11 percent for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. In that ranking, Carson is tied with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 7 percent each. "This is not a pretend candidacy," Matt Towery, the pollster and CEO of InsiderAdvantage, which owns OpinionSavvy, said of Trump's White House run. "This is not something to be mocked. "This guy is for real. He has hit something big time in this region of the country," Towery said. "I've not seen anyone have this sort of effect — to be quite blunt — since Ronald Reagan." "I don’t recall anyone having a lead this far out," he told Newsmax. "It was building, not simply sitting there — particularly that was so regionally strong." The exclusive Newsmax poll results come as Trump leads the field heading into the first Republican presidential debate with the 10 top-polling candidates on Thursday at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Seven others will square off in a one-hour forum to be held before the prime-time event. The debate is sponsored by Fox News Channel and the Republican National Committee. Fox averaged five national polls of GOP primary voters, including Real Clear Politics, to make its selection. "Many of the upper-tier candidates are from the South, yet Donald Trump is doing better in this poll of the South than he is doing nationally," Towery said. Here are the other GOP candidates fared in the Newsmax poll: Cruz: 9 percent Huckabee and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: 6 percent Rubio: 4 percent Ohio Gov. John Kasich: 3 percent Jindal, Paul, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Carly Fiorina: 2 percent Graham, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry: 1 percent Former New York Gov. George Pataki finished below 1 percent In addition, 2 percent responded that they would vote for someone else, while 3 percent said they were undecided. The Newsmax results reflected poor name recognition for Walker in the South, Towery said. The second-term governor has regularly followed Trump and Bush in national polls — and he won a match-up against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire last month, according to a Dartmouth College poll. And only last week did Trump supplant Walker in Iowa in a Gravis Marketing survey for the One American News Network. Iowa holds its caucuses on Feb. 1, in the first contest of the 2016 presidential cycle. "He's not well known — and a lot of this has to do with name ID right now," Towery told Newsmax of the Badger State governor. "He's known to people who are active in political circles, but to the average voter in a Republican primary in these Southern states, they've hardly ever heard of Scott Walker. "He has a long way to go — and with Trump dominating the headlines, he's not able to get much traction," the pollster added. "It doesn't mean that Walker couldn't have stronger numbers down the road, it's simply not being able to get his name known enough right now." While Iowa and New Hampshire are also critical for Trump, victories in the South could send him sailing into the Florida primary on March 15 if he doesn’t win in those states, Towery said. "If Trump can just stay in the game in Iowa and New Hampshire, then he goes into South Carolina and some of the other states and he keeps moving, he would be competitive with Bush and Carson." The Southern states are especially critical in this Republican presidential season, as many will hold their primaries before Florida's. In the past, Florida held its primary earlier in the season. This cycle, however, 14 mostly Southern states will hold primaries between South Carolina's, on Feb. 20, and Florida's. They are Arkansas, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Louisiana, Alabama, Idaho, Mississippi, and Michigan. Colorado and Hawaii will hold caucuses during the period. Seven of those Southern primaries are part of the first "Super Tuesday" on March 1. The change will have a huge effect on the race, most likely favoring popular candidates over establishment choices. Florida also has held a "winner-take-all" primary, with all of its 99 delegates going to the winner. A Trump win in the Sunshine State could readily sink the Bush and Rubio campaigns, since they would be losing in their home state, Towery told Newsmax. But this strong Southern showing poses two challenges for the businessman, he said. "If Trump can hold or build on that lead in the South, he is going to go to the big dance, as they say in 'March Madness' terms," Towery said. Also, "can he transfer this popularity to non-Southern states where he is running a little bit lower, like Iowa and New Hampshire? If he can get his numbers up to the mid-30s, then he can really blow the doors off this thing. "Trump's running in the mid-20s nationally, 30s and above in a lot of these Southern states," Towery concluded. "He's the winner right now in the first run for the heart and soul of the South. "I'm sure that if anyone told Donald Trump years ago that Mr. New York City would be so popular in Alabama, he would've believed it. I wouldn't." © 2015 Newsmax. All rights reserved.
