Despite knowing many vets, Bal Simon wasn’t quite sure how to ask about their experiences. Wes Moore’s TED Talk, “How to talk to veterans about the war,” has shown a way forward.
社区成员 Bal Simon 在观看韦斯·摩尔的 TED 演讲《如何与退伍军人谈论战争》后，写下了以下感想：
“我父亲是二战老兵。我有几位叔伯（现已离世）也是退伍军人。还有一些亲戚至今仍是。我必须承认，我从未想过，作为一名平民，花时间去询问（而非强求）那些穿着军装的男男女女背后的故事，究竟意味着什么。长久以来，我深感自己欠下了一份永远无法完全偿还的恩情，也会说声谢谢——但却不知如何跨越那份尴尬，迈出更多一步。摩尔上尉为我指引了一条路，让我在机会来临时，能够鼓起勇气走过那份尴尬。我认为这是他送给我的一份珍贵礼物。谢谢您，上尉，不仅感谢您的服役，更感谢您为我照亮了一条我甚至未曾意识到就在眼前的路。”
