Aboard the USS Tarawa, I posted a picture of my beloved truck in my locker. Since my fellow Marines had pictures of their girlfriends up, they often ridiculed me for my object of adoration. “Laugh all you want,” I told them. “At least my truck will still be there when I get home!”
登上塔拉瓦號航空母艦以后,我把我心愛的卡車的照片貼在我的衣柜里。由于我的海軍陸戰(zhàn)隊(duì)的伙伴們都把女朋友的照片貼出來,他們常常譏笑我的偶像。我告訴他們:“盡管笑吧,至少我回家的時(shí)候我的卡車還在那里等著我。”
