Surviving

Call me crazy but the past few weeks, I have been avidly visiting CNN.com and as well as other news source websites and founf out that news all over the world is very interesting and are worth reading. Just, I came across this interesting late-individual (he already passed on) featured on the news. This particular individual is Sgt. Merlin German of the U.S Marine. 

He is a survivor of a bomb blast while being posted in Iraq. according to sources, his Humvee then in 2005, hit a roadside bomb and it blowed the veh

icle with him inside of it. He suffered 97% of burnt on his body but yet he survived till 11th April 2008 due to complications from his surgery to further his recuperation. 

He looked like this.

If you ask me, it takes a lot of courage and faith to actually want to continue living in this condition. Going through all that pain. I wouldn't be able to take it. Surgery after surgery. This particular marine also started a cause called Merlin's Miracle in aid of burnt children and their families to help them go through tough time.

I feel that this particular Marine has definitely be a great inspiration to many people and to those who browse through my blog, do go google "miracle marine" and read up on this outstanding individual.

So, what about you? Given you be in his shoes. Would you live on or choose the other road?
