    面朝大海,春暖花开

    周末去hiking,结果去晚了,据称SD最美丽的Sunset cliff blvd.中Hiking的那一段关了 (听这个名字就很浪漫是吧),只能在路上走走看,有什么好玩的东西没有。

    Sunset cliff是在一个半岛上,两边都是海,东边是SD airport,每当夜幕降临的时候,徐徐升起的飞机带起海港一片灯火阑珊;西边就是广袤无垠的太平洋。这个半岛向南伸入海中,而Sunset cliff blvd.就在狭长的半岛上。

    在这么美丽的风景的两边,应该是什么呢?别墅区?办公楼?游乐园?No。日落悬崖的两边,是美军战士的陵园。

    墓碑2

    所有参加过战争的将士,都可以把墓碑安放在这里,背后是海,身旁是树。与中国普遍无名烈士陵园不同的是,他们每个人都有一个墓碑,上面写着他们的信仰,名字,家庭,参加国战争的名字,和亲朋好友对他的评价。

    墓碑1 墓碑4

    在这里我看到参加过一战,二战,韩战,越战,阿富汗,伊战的士兵名字,看到天主教,基督教,东正教,犹太教的士兵的名字,看到活到一百岁的老兵,也看到不到18岁就阵亡的战士,他的墓志铭上写着“Iraq freedom”。

    我不想评价他们的战争,也不想评价他们的价值观。但我知道这下面的每一方泥土里,都有一个确凿的灵魂,他们不是我们口中虚无的“烈士”,也不是每年清明少先队才来看一次的建筑,他们安息在整块加利福尼亚南端最有商业价值的土地上,让后代来探望,让人们来缅怀。

     墓碑3

    几乎没有人,但雏菊和康乃馨是新鲜的。风安静地吹过,树叶簌簌作响。他们的灵魂面朝大海。

     

    最后奉送一张真正的大海的图片,这是太平洋的东端。
