Surviving a devastating IED blast. Kanaan Merriken shares his story.

Surviving a devastating IED blast. Kanaan Merriken shares his story.

Kanaan Merriken is the definition of perseverance. An IED struck the vehicle Kanaan was in, leaving him with severe injuries to the head and neck. Kanaan was acting as the medic on this deployment, and instead of seeking cover to address his wounds, he did what he could to save others. Eventually, his wounds incapacitated him, and at one point, Kanaan was void of all vital signs. Kanaan was dead. However, in true warrior fashion, he denied deaths call. Kanaan spent several days in a coma, but he persevered.

Upon recovering from his wounds, Kanaan received a medical discharge from the Army. What does Kanaan do now? Not much he’s just a Sergeant Major in the Army! Yes, from death to 100 percent service-connected disability to Army Sergeant Major.

I am only telling you part of the story. I am proud to call Kanaan a friend, and I am grateful he was vulnerable enough to share his story with us.
