A great example for other towns. What an excellent example of saving a small piece of the legacies lost.
Bedford Boys Tribute Center的点评
点评:What a loving and respectful tribute to these very young men that were lost so you, and long ago. The respect and dignity that their belongings and memories of their life while here and abroad. Those that have put this together have been so careful and considerate of these parts of those that sacrificed their lives for us is very evident through out the tribute area. I love that they skipped the word museum. It is a tribute in the deepest sense of the word. The men here definitely know those that are represented here, and parts of their life here in town and their last days home. One of those being remembered apparently was quite the letter writer, and those who routinely got letters knew there was something amiss when those letters stopped.
While I don’t feel I had a cavalier attitude to our sacrificed soldiers; I have to say that this was still; quite the wake up call to me. The emotional hit that happened when they tell the story of the teletype that started up when it was turned on and just kept on and on! With such dreadful news; and those that stepped up to deliver that news; is quite the story. The movies make it look like the military makes those deliveries, just think of how few were left stateside. It’s was local friends, and towns people. What a burden, but carried out.
翻译:这是对这些在很久以前就已失去生命的年轻人的多么充满爱意和尊重的致敬。他们拥有的物品和在国内外生活的回忆,都令人感到尊重和尊严。那些把这些放在一起的人非常小心,非常体贴,这些为我们牺牲生命的人的这些部分在整个纪念区都非常明显。我喜欢他们没有使用博物馆这个词。这是对这个词最深刻的致敬。这里的人肯定知道这里所代表的那些人,以及他们在城里生活的一部分和他们最后几天的家。其中一位被铭记的人显然是一位写信人,那些经常收到信的人知道当这些信停止时,一定有什么不对劲。
虽然我不觉得我对我们牺牲的士兵有一种傲慢的态度;但我不得不说,这对我来说仍然是一个警钟。当他们讲述电传打字机的故事时,我受到了强烈的震撼,电传打字机一打开就启动了,而且一直不停地运行!有这样可怕的消息;还有那些站出来传递这个消息的人;故事情节很精彩。电影让这些物资看起来像是军方运送的,想想有多少人留在了美国本土。只有当地的朋友和镇上的人。多么沉重的负担,但还是完成了。
