A brave Marine died on April 11, 2008 from terrible burn injuries he suffered on February 20, 2005 while in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He was Sgt. Merlin German and he was nicknamed, "Miracle Man" because he suffered such terrible burns over 97 % of his body and the given odds of survival were only 3 % but survive he did. He served with the 2nd Battalion, 11th Marines, 1st Marine Division when an IED exploded under his humvee. He endured over 40 surgeries and was an inspiration to all he met. Rest in Peace Marine.
