Merlin German, Hero.
Topic: Life|In memory of our honored dead on Memorial day, I want to salute Sgt. Merlin German, USMC.
Merlin was an inspiration and a saint. With burns over 97 percent of his body he survived and thrived for three years after being given no chance to live. Merlin was injured in Iraq by an IED and flown home so that his family could say goodbye to him before he died. He didn’t accept that as his lot in life, he fought. He fought bravely and selflessly for three years before succumbing to his wounds last month.
He danced with his mom and founded a charity for burnt children during those three years, all while recovering from his horrific wounds. His life was a triumph, his triumph was an inspiration and his inspiration will continue on.
What have I done these last three years that compares in any way?
On this Memorial Day, keep them all in your thoughts.
