Miracle Man Dies

http://www.merlinsmiracles.com/

After being burned over 97% of his body when a roadside bomb exploded under his vehicle in Iraq while fighting defending our freedom in the Global War on Terror. Merlin was flown to Brooke Army Medical Center where he was not expected to survive, but after over 9 months in the intensive care unit and over 100 surgeries later, he had clearly defied all odds. Merlin became known to everyone as the Miracle Man.

He fought bravely for more than three years but died...

Merlin's love for children and his desire to ease their pain was behind the most important project he was planning: a Make-A-Wish type organization called Merlin's Miracles for children who are burn victims...

Help make his dream come true...

@TimmyHaag and unless you were a REMF that was chillling in the rear like a gear queer then you would have known the MRAP design wasn't being put out or used by anyone when German's vehicle got hit. See what you don't know is that German was an artilleryman. 2nd Battalion 11th Marines is an Artillery unit that was sent to Ar Ramadi in sept 2004 as an improvised infantry battalion. We provided security for convoys. Bout the only thing you got right is this not being about medals and glory.

How sad this had to happen to such a brave soul. The only thing sadder is the war for nothing that caused it....

Sgt. German's plight could of been avoided if the Marines in Al Anbar had MRAPs from the get go.

I was Army light infantry and I did my time so keep the Marine Corps fan boy shit to yourselves where it belongs. The "enemy" doesn't give a shit who they are killing and the REMFs in the rear, with the NA beer, are the only one's clinging to BS one liners like GLORY and even more GLORY.

Fuck that. When you see your friends die the last thing you will think of is glory and medals.

All kinds of people fought and are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. What bonds people in the Marine Corps is not color, or religion, ethnicity, etc. Its being a Marine. There is no color in the Marine Corps, only green. We have a volunteer military where all kinds of people join and know the consequences...but you're too ignorant to know anything about that, and your view on our society is almost as pathetic as you are; so with that being said have a good life.
