(This really is a classic American Ingenuity story. I don't want to spoil this great story - just read it.)
====================================================
My son said they had the most fun with Marine X’s package. He said he wasn't sure who we were sending the pack 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!!!!". He said 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.
Long ago we used to use Sanitary napkins as the main ingredient in pressure bandages on an ambulance. They were sterile, absorbent, effective, and cheap. Glad to see these guys using their head. Improvise and overcome!

BTW, my brother in the Army used to tell me about the use of feminine hygeine products for wound dressing, and also about some of the other dressings they are developing.
I've carried some in my first aid kit for years for exactly that scenario. Especially on convoys.
Glad he had them with him. Don't leave home without them!
Hey--Thank You! That is the best story and I'm so glad a Marine's life was saved. I think it was God stepping in, too!--He knows what is going to happen before it does. God Bless that person who sent the tampons! I needed some good news today, so Thanks again!
