We are here today because we have not forgotten. We have not forgotten the honor and the valor of our Japanese and American warriors. And we reaffirm, reaffirm the General's pledge. Our Marines, our soldiers, our sailors, from both Japan and the United States — their service and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Though nearly all, not all, but nearly all who so bravely fought here are gone, their hallowed memory lives on. And we are so grateful that some are still with us here today. Their memory lives on here along the black sand beaches, here atop Mount Suribachi, and here in the tunnels and caves across this island. Their memory also lives on in the bond between our people and our countries.
"We have not forgotten. The bravery of those who fought on Normandy - Nazi Germany and American alike - endures in history, in sacred ground, and the bonds between our nations. Their valor will never fade."作者: opensrc 时间: 2025-4-2 00:06
