Sgt. Merlin German's death halted an endless cycle of surgeries, skin grafts and doctor’s appointments that began Feb. 21, 2005, the day a gas-fed improvised explosive devise detonated near German’s Humvee outside Camp Ramadi, according to a Web site started in Merlin’s memory.
Family members described German on the Web site, www.merlinsmiracles.com, as a proud American who loved children. Before he died, German told family members he "had a vision to help burned children and their families," the family said on his Web said. "He wanted the foundation to be named Merlin’s Miracles."
