Two years ago, after having served four years in the United States Marine Corps and deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan, I found myself in Port-au-Prince, leading a team of veterans and medical professionals in some of the hardest-hit areas of that city, We were going to the places that nobody else wanted to go, the places nobody else could go, and after three weeks, we realized something. Military veterans are very, very good at disaster response.
两年前，我在美国海军陆战队 服役了四年 也曾调配到伊朗和阿富汗 我被安排到太子港领导一支 由退役军人和医疗专业人员组成的队伍。 就在地震刚过去三天， 我到达这座城市受灾害最严重的一些地区里。 我们去了没有任何人想要去的地方， 也没有任何人能够去的地方。三周过后， 我们意识到，那些退役军人 非常善于应变灾难。
