Amerikan \u0130\u00e7 Sava\u015f\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda, kanl\u0131 Fredericksburg Sava\u015f\u0131’n\u0131n ortas\u0131nda, Charles W. Merrill ad\u0131nda gen\u00e7 bir Birlik askeri kendini ate\u015f hatt\u0131nda buldu. Geri \u00e7ekilen birliklerin \u00fczerine t\u00fcfek mermileri ya\u011farken, biri sa\u011f g\u00f6z\u00fcn\u00fc s\u0131y\u0131rd\u0131 ve kula\u011f\u0131n\u0131n arkas\u0131na sapland\u0131. Ancak kalbine giden ikinci bir mermi, ceketinin cebine s\u0131k\u0131\u015ft\u0131r\u0131lm\u0131\u015f k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir Yeni Ahit \u0130ncili taraf\u0131ndan mucizevi bir \u015fekilde durduruldu.<\/p>\n\n
Merrill’in \u0130ncili, sava\u015fa giderken papaz\u0131 taraf\u0131ndan ona verilmi\u015fti. Bunun sars\u0131lmaz cesaretinin ve inanc\u0131n\u0131n bir sembol\u00fc olaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 bilmiyordu. Merrill, ba\u015f\u0131ndan ciddi bir yara almas\u0131na ra\u011fmen, bilin\u00e7li ve iyi bir ruh haliyle kald\u0131 ve mucizevi kurtulu\u015fu i\u00e7in minnettarl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 ifade etti.<\/p>\n\n
Merrill’in dar kurtulu\u015f haberi, \u0130ncil’e b\u00fcy\u00fck bir sayg\u0131 duymas\u0131yla tan\u0131nan, son derece dindar bir adam olan Ba\u015fkan Abraham Lincoln’e ula\u015ft\u0131. Lincoln, Merrill’in hikayesinden etkilenerek askere ad\u0131n\u0131 ve tarihi ta\u015f\u0131yan ki\u015fiselle\u015ftirilmi\u015f bir \u0130ncil g\u00f6nderdi. Bu de\u011ferli cilt art\u0131k Merrill’in Yeni Ahit’inin yan\u0131nda Massachusetts’teki Phillips K\u00fct\u00fcphanesi’nde korunmaktad\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n
12 May\u0131s 1863’te Merrill, Washington, D.C.’deki bir hastanede iyile\u015firken ani bir i\u00e7 kanama ge\u00e7irdi ve bu da \u00f6l\u00fcmc\u00fcl oldu. Son s\u00f6zleri, ona bakan hem\u015fireyle konu\u015fma iste\u011fiydi. Cerrahlar\u0131n \u00e7abalar\u0131na ra\u011fmen Merrill, birka\u00e7 dakika i\u00e7inde hayat\u0131n\u0131 kaybetti.<\/p>\n\n
Merrill’in hayat\u0131 k\u0131sa kesilmi\u015f olsa da, hikayesi ilham vermeye devam ediyor. Hayat\u0131n\u0131 kurtaran t\u00fcfek mermisiyle g\u00f6m\u00fcl\u00fc olan \u0130ncili, inanc\u0131n g\u00fcc\u00fcn\u00fcn ve hayat\u0131n k\u0131r\u0131lganl\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131n dokunakl\u0131 bir hat\u0131rlat\u0131c\u0131s\u0131 olarak hizmet ediyor.<\/p>\n\n
Charles W. Merrill, 1837’de Newburyport, Massachusetts’te do\u011fdu. 1862’de Birlik Ordusu’na kat\u0131ld\u0131 ve 19. Massachusetts G\u00f6n\u00fcll\u00fc Piyade Alay\u0131’nda g\u00f6rev yapt\u0131. Merrill’in evine yazd\u0131\u011f\u0131 mektuplar, bar\u0131\u015f \u00f6zlemini ve Birlik davas\u0131na sars\u0131lmaz inanc\u0131n\u0131 ortaya koymaktad\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n
Fredericksburg Sava\u015f\u0131, \u0130\u00e7 Sava\u015f’\u0131n en \u00f6l\u00fcmc\u00fcl sava\u015flar\u0131ndan biriydi ve 200.000’den fazla asker \u00e7at\u0131\u015fmaya girdi. Merrill’in alay\u0131, Rappahannock Nehri’ni ge\u00e7ip Konfederasyon savunmalar\u0131na sald\u0131rmas\u0131 i\u00e7in g\u00f6revlendirildi. Birlik Ordusu, say\u0131ca az olmas\u0131na ra\u011fmen cesurca sava\u015ft\u0131, ancak sonunda a\u011f\u0131r kay\u0131plar verdi.<\/p>\n\n
Merrill’in \u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fc, ailesi, arkada\u015flar\u0131 ve \u00fclkesi i\u00e7in trajik bir kay\u0131pt\u0131. O, sava\u015f\u0131n deh\u015fetleri i\u00e7inde inanc\u0131n\u0131n kendisini destekledi\u011fi cesur ve onurlu bir askerdi. Onun hikayesi, Amerikan \u0130\u00e7 Sava\u015f\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda say\u0131s\u0131z ba\u015fkas\u0131 taraf\u0131ndan yap\u0131lan fedakarl\u0131klar\u0131n bir hat\u0131rlat\u0131c\u0131s\u0131d\u0131r.<\/p>\n\n
Merrill’in \u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fcn\u00fcn ard\u0131ndan ailesi ve arkada\u015flar\u0131, onun hayat\u0131n\u0131n daha y\u00fcksek bir g\u00fc\u00e7 taraf\u0131ndan y\u00f6nlendirildi\u011fine inanarak teselli arad\u0131lar. \u0130lahi takdirin gizemli yollar\u0131, onu sava\u015f alan\u0131nda an\u0131nda \u00f6l\u00fcmden kurtarm\u0131\u015f, ancak onu beklenmedik bir \u015fekilde alm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Ancak inanc\u0131 ve \u00e7evresindekilerin sevgisi sayesinde Merrill’in miras\u0131 ya\u015famaya devam ediyor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
