I may never complain again. OK I probably will, but reading this story again and again will help me get thru just about anything I think:
General News - 'Miracle' Marine refused to surrender will to live

What a beautiful and touching story. If I only had 10% of his strength and determination, I'd be a better person. No question...he's in heaven dancing with a happy heart and a "whole" body.

Thanks for an inspiring post.

Our Houston Chronicle devoted two full pages to this hero's story---may we never forget our soldiers' sacrifices and blessings to all their families especially on this special day of remembrance................

I first read of Sgt. German a few months after he was brought here to San Antonio. His incredible spirit captured the hearts of San Antonians and was instantly a Hometown Hero. When he was able to be discharged from BAMC, he attended all sorts of charitable events in between his many operations. I even saw him once at a restaurant - (I live very near BAMC).

It was such a shock when he died so unexpectedly! I think we all felt he had made it and the danger was over. Until you posted this Buddy, I really had no idea that the rest of the country knew of this amazing young man. Thank you for posting this.

What a sad and inspiring story. Sometimes it is the ones going through the worst adversity who know how to get the most out of life.

I think she either read it before she left, while on a visit back here, or gets it delivered there...
