Merlin German
Merlin German (November 15, 1985 – April 11, 2008) was a United States Marine sergeant stationed in Iraq who survived a roadside bomb blast in 2005. He became a symbol of recovery throughout the United States, soon known as the "Miracle Marine,"〔('Miracle' Marine dies ), Associated Press, May 2, 2008.〕 during the 17 months he spent hospitalized following the blast.〔Rivera, ("Sgt. Merlin German, Marine burned in Iraq, dies" ), ''Newsday'', May 2, 2008.〕 German eventually regained the ability to walk, and set up a charity for child burn victims. Just over three years after the blast, he died following a minor skin graft surgery.
==Early life and education==
German was born in New York City's Manhattan, on November 15, 1985, to Hemery and Lourdes German, immigrants from the Dominican Republic. He grew up in Washington Heights with seven siblings: sisters Marcia and Lawren, and brothers Ariel, Freddie, Johnny, Alejandro and Julio. By the age of 11, he told one of his brothers, Ariel, that he wanted to be a Marine when he grew up. In 2001, he moved to Greenburgh, New York, to avoid moving to the Dominican Republic with his parents, and attended Woodlands High School for his junior and senior years. He moved in with one of his sisters, Lawren German, and her husband, his brother-in-law, Rafael Diaz, along with their three sons, his nephews, Ralph Junior, Matt, and Isaiah. In high school, he spent most days working out in the gym and joined a program where he'd run with Marines on weekends, trying to get in shape for boot camp.
