家园 【原创】 几张照片,一点感想

Brian 他们的博客里,有几张照片挺引人注目的:

Howard Mason, Able Company (A连)

他手上纹的是:Hold Fast (坚守)

老头曾是美军陆战队员,但是手上纹的这两个字,倒是在我们部队的军史里常见。

Adam, Brian, and Ed (K Company, 31st Regiment)

Ed的部队就是在我们军史上有名的战果:北极熊团(美7师31团),长津一战,这支部队被大部歼灭,尽管他们后来在上甘岭和志愿军打的也算英勇,但是每当提起这支部队,人们想到最多的还是他们被缴获的军旗。

上面这张照片,初看起来没觉得有什么,但是细看之下,发现老兵Ed是位伤残军人,坐的也是轮椅。

能在身负重伤的情况下幸存下来,Ed的命还是很硬的,下面就是Brian 他们的博客里对Ed获救经过的大致概述。

After the convoy was ambushed and halted, Chinese Communist Forces burned all of the wounded alive in thethe back of the trucks. To make a long story short, Ed miraculously survived after being shot in the head, beaten, and left for dead with no winter clothing in 40-below temperatures. He made his way to the ice on the reservoir where he was saved by LtCol Beale and some other Marines who had driven through enemy lines in jeeps to recover as many survivors from the 31st as possible. We spent almost three hours talking with Ed and we were honored to be welcomed into his home today.

如果上面内容全部出自Ed本人的话,如果他所说的也都是事实的话,那么,我只能说,战争真的是非常残酷的,最好别太绝对了。

在过去的50多年里,不知道Ed是如何渡过的,上面的照片就是在他家里拍的,看来他的晚年还算安逸。

在Brian他们博客最新的一个贴子里,我看到了下面这段话:

We will be done on the west coast soon, and although we have been here only a few weeks, it feels like forever. Adam found out today that his youngest daughter took her first steps while he was here helping us on the film. His wife sent him pictures. Brian's son began crawling, and he is already trying to walk. While we all feel that this project is incredibly important, these two guys and their families are really sacrificing a lot to make sure the film is made and the story of The Chosin Few is told. But if we don't do it, who will?

没人能够随随便便成功,自己的事情还得靠自己去去扎扎实实的做。
