Sgt. Merlin German The ‘Miracle’ Marine

November 15th 1985- April 11th 2008

Merlin German waged that battle in the quiet of a Texas hospital, far from the dusty road in Iraq where a bomb exploded on Feb. 21, 2005 near German’s Humvee, hurling him out of the turret and engulfing him in flames. Leaving him with burns over 97 percent of his body.

No one expected him to survive.

But for more than three years, he would not surrender. He endured more than 100 surgeries and procedures. He learned to live with pain, to stare at a stranger’s face in the mirror. He learned to smile again, to joke, to make others laugh.

He became known as the “Miracle Man.”

But just when it seemed he would defy impossible odds, Sgt. Merlin German lost his last battle during a routine surgery on April 11th 2008.

“I can’t remember a time where he said, ‘I can’t do it. I’m not going to try.”

German was just 22.

It truly pisses me off that a picture of some girls fucking shoes gets more notes then this.

Rest Easy brother.

Respect.

RIP :’(

This photograph is worth 1000 times more than a picture of a bottle of nail varnish or food etc. Only about 10 of my followers will reblog this, and the rest will not. It won’t spoil your blog. God bless him.

Four-year-old Paige Bennethum really, really didn’t want her daddy to go to Iraq. So much that when Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum lined up in formation at his deployment this July, she couldn’t let go. No one had the heart to pull her away. Everyone should stop reblogging hipster photos and reblog this, it won’t ruin your ‘type’ of blog. 

How Precious.♥

Aww

A Chinese proverb says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangle, but never be broken.
