On September 11, when terrorists attacked the U.S., my brother was stationed in Japan. My mother, upon hearing the news, didn't panic. Instead, she headed to the nearest recruiting office. When a recruiter asked if she needed help, she responded, “Yes—I need to hug a Marine!”
9月11日恐怖分子袭击美国的时候,我弟弟在日本驻军。我妈听到这个消息没有惊慌。而是到附近的征兵站去。一个招募人员问她是不是需要帮助。她说:“对,我要拥抱一个海军陆战队员!”
