Marine Sgt. Merlin German Combat Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005 in Anbar, Iraq. Sgt. Merlin participating in over 150 missions during their deployment. What set German apart from others in the unit was his ability to identify improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
This attribute was credited to his focus during the missions. No mission was routine to German as he visually took in everything around him. German is credited with finding eight IEDs during the first six months of his deployment.
On 21 February 2005, German's platoon was on a reconnaissance mission along an unfamiliar route from Jordan to Baghdad. En route to the Marine Corps base at Ramadi, German was in his usual place atop the turret of his Humvee with a Mk 19 grenade launcher. As the vehicle rounded a curve, it was struck by a high-explosive anti-tank charge on the left side.
The explosion threw German clear of the Humvee, his body engulfed in flames When his fellow Marines extinguished the flames, German was burned over 97% of his body. German was nicknamed the "Miracle Marine" by his doctors because of his ability to overcome his injuries. German purchased a home in San Antonio, TX, which became the center for his charity, "Merlin's Miracles."
The charity provides financial and therapeutic support for child burn victims. German was medically retired from the Marine Corps in 2007 with the rank of sergeant. Marine Sgt. Merlin German of Manhattan, N.Y., died at age 22, April 11, 2008.

In this photograph taken during the Battle of Iwo Jima in March 1945, an American soldier offers a cigarette to a Japanese soldier who had surrendered. The Japanese soldier had been hiding with a grenade for about a day and a halt but never got the chance to attack. In the end, he was given a cigarette in exchange for his surrender.

Still amazing that Eugene Stoner outright told the Marine Corps all the problems of the M16A2, but got hand waved away because the target shooters who made the changes felt "it was their baby". He was right about every criticism too.
HR4332 was the 1986 bill that banned the manufacture of machine guns for civilians.
Itโs also the name of a series of Uzi submachine guns hastily registered by Group Industries of Louisville, KY just before the ban went into effect.
Hereโs one in the KY Military Museum.
In 2005, after two British Special Air Service operators were captured in Iraq and approval for a rescue was refused, a lieutenant colonel allegedly disobeyed orders and sent about 20 SAS personnel to retrieve them. When the government pushed back, the entire Special Air Service reportedly threatened to resign en masse.
On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.
The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.
His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.
When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.
His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."
He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.
Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.
His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."
Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.
Three generations. Three wars. One family.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.
He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.
In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.
Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.
Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
Both of his sons did exactly that.
