The funeral was colorless, the dark blue mountains and lake blue sky at the far end were blown pale by the rustling cold wind, the crowd was dark and the ground was white, and there were deep crying and neat rows. tombstone. Soldiers in military uniforms carried the coffins and walked into the cemetery with neat steps. Pairs of white gloves were set against the black coffins as black as ink, making people involuntarily fight a cold war.

​​

After the three rows of gunshots by the firing squad, the melodious sound of the trombone echoed slowly over the cemetery. All the soldiers in uniform raised their right hands to receive the salute, and Evan Bell put his right hand on his left chest to salute, watching the coffin covered with the Stars and Stripes slowly move forward.

​​

Katherine Burns was standing at the forefront of the crowd, wearing a long black dress, her belly was stretched tight, but her body became more and more thin, as if the wind was stronger, she It will go with the wind.

​​

Evan Bell remembered that at the farewell ceremony just now, Catherine Burns stood in front of the coffin, stroking the shroud without saying a word for a long time. There were no tears, no hysteria, just holding his stomach with his left hand and gently caressing the shroud in the coffin with his right hand, his haggard face revealed infinite nostalgia. Jason Mraz told him that Casey Burns was blown to pieces in an explosion and his body was never found. Katherine Burns couldn't even get her wish to see her husband one last time. Katherine Burns stood beside the coffin like this, quietly looking at the uniform that belonged to her husband, without saying anything.

​​

At that time, Joe Baker, who was watching this scene, stood stiffly in place. The news of Kathy Burns's death was told by the Marine Corps major himself, and Major Baker did not return to the battlefield in Iraq or Afghanistan. His latest assignment is for his comrades who died. We arrange funerals - comrades! This is Joe Baker's fourth funeral in a short period of time.

​​

Evan Bell and Joe Baker had a brief conversation in the hall, and the tough guy always looked strong. But looking at Katherine Burns standing beside the coffin, she looked reluctant. Instead, he placed his right hand on his left chest, tensing his cheeks, and his eyes were filled with crystal tears. Kathy Burns' mother, already sobbing, leaned weakly on Joe Baker's shoulder. I couldn't bear to look at the appearance of my daughter-in-law giving off her son, and tears fell like rain. Joe Baker stood so strong, straightening his back, trying to clench his cheeks to keep the tears from falling.

​​

After the trombone playing ended, Evan Bell's thoughts returned to the scene and saw Joe Baker carrying the coffin for Casey Burns. He hides both sadness and vulnerability, and the determination on his face is like a rock on top of a mountain that has endured for many years.

​​

The cold sun shrouded the entire cemetery, black uniforms, white gloves, red stars and stripes, green camouflage uniforms, blue navy flags, yellow roses. Transparent tears... At this moment, all are intertwined.

​​

After the funeral, Evan Bell and Jason Mayez each stepped forward to give Katherine Burns a hug. Turn around and walk away from the scene. The rest of the time belongs to the Burns family. Evan Bell glanced back, Catherine Burns stood beside the tombstone with a big belly, and was reluctant to leave. The sun shines on her body, and the light afterglow traces down her hair, face and body, like a statue plated with gold, her pale face is expressionless, not pain, not sadness. Not despair, just infinite emptiness.

​​

Evan Bell retracted his gaze and sighed softly. The warm breeze brought the melody behind him. It was the melody of "fact-fiction (t-n, which made people cry.

​​

"Damn war. Those rotten politicians in the government who don't compromise their means for profit, have all gone to that bad battlefield to experience that life." Jason Maez complained angrily, which was different from his usual The image doesn't match at all, but the irritability between his eyebrows clearly shows his bad temper on the brink.

​​

Evan Bell sighed and didn't answer. The quagmire of Iraq and Afghanistan trapped the U.S. military in it, and it wasn't until August 2010 that the long war ended. Today's Casey Burns is only part of it. There have been many "Casey Burns" before, and there will be many in the future.

​​

"Should let that Bush go to hell. He didn't do anything good in that position. Only God knows how he was re-elected last year." The current president has countless complaints.

Evan Bell shrugged, "Maybe his campaign's economic advisers know."

​​

This suggestive and ambiguous remark made Jason Mazes pause, and immediately asked, "Really? Is that really the case?"

​​

It seems that Jason Mraz is indeed in a bad state, and he didn't even hear the ridicule and sarcasm in Evan Bell's tone. Evan Bell did not intend to correct him, "The campaign, isn't it all those complicated things."

​​

Jason Maez nodded, expressing his approval, "When the next election comes, I will definitely go to the parade to protest against that **** Bush."

​​

"Didn't you participate in the protest march last year?" Evan Bell's words eased Jason Mayez's bad expression a lot. In fact, the president of the United States serves a four-year term and cannot be re-elected for more than two terms. Therefore, there is no chance for Bush Jr. next time. In fact, when George Bush was re-elected last year, it was already a narrow victory. You must know that the anti-war voices have not subsided in the past two years.

​​

Jason Mayez smiled, didn't speak, paused for a while, and said casually, "Why don't you run for president?"

​​

Evan Bell glanced at Jason Mayez, sneered and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested." For politics, Evan Bell has always been grateful. He yearns for freedom, and he lacks the most in the political circle. Yes, that is freedom. Just imagine what happened to Louis XVI back then. Although the president is not a king, their policies are also related to the operation of a country. free? The most unlikely thing for a president.

​​

Jason Mraz patted Evan Bell on the shoulder, and the smile on his face became a lot easier. The heaviness of the funeral just now settled from the eyebrows to the bottom of his heart, "Take a look. If you can become the president, if you run for the election now, it is probably not a problem. You know, a good team can help a lot in a campaign like this, and your good eloquence will never fall behind during the debate. "

​​

Ronald Reagan, one of the most popular presidents in the history of the United States, this year, the Discovery Channel made a special program of the American Great Men series, Ronald Reagan beat Franklin Roosevelt, George Washington and others, and was criticized. "The Greatest American". The most legendary thing is that Ronald Reagan was born as a baseball spring training announcer, and then became a movie actor. Although he did not reach the peak in the movie actor industry, he won a lot of popularity. After that, he also challenged TV actors and hosts, and even served as the chairman of the Screen Actors Guild for eight years after 1947. In 1981, Ronald Reagan became the first president of the United States to enter politics from film.

​​

Of course, Evan Bell is really not interested in Jason Majaz's ridicule, "If I go to the election, I believe you will cheer for me, but I think I should be the first to shout. The person who opposes." Evan Belt paused, "Of course, maybe when the end of the world comes, I'd be willing to stand on the Statue of Liberty and shout something like 'Long live' or something, I don't know if it's for you It's a little comfort."

​​

Jason Majez looked at Evan Bell helplessly and laughed, after laughing, he sighed, "I was just thinking, I usually say that the influence of an artist is huge, But in front of politics and the country, we are all just ordinary people, and there is nothing we can do."

​​

Evan Bell hooked Jason Maez's shoulder with his right hand and said with a smile, "Yes, there are still many things we can do. For example, write a song to express our feelings, tell Those disgusting political officials, let them all go to hell, Green Day is doing a good job at this point." Jason - Mayez also burst out laughing, "We can really do a good job in politics~www .readwn.com~ But at least, we can tell those who are willing to listen to our music with their hearts, peace and love are what we pursue, and this is what we think is the true meaning of society. Perhaps, in the very distant future, among our fans If one member becomes the president, then his outlook on life, values, and world outlook will not be so decadent, maybe..."

​​

Evan Bell knows that this is idealism, because in a national position, interests are always the first element. Evan Bell thinks of Barack Obama. At the groundbreaking ceremony of the Freedom Tower, the two had a relationship. If history has not changed, then after the 2008 presidential election, this face appeared to represent the United States. Thinking of the Freedom Tower, which is still under construction, as well as the Burj Khalifa, Evan Bell is looking forward to the capping ceremony. It is really exciting to see the building he designed become a reality.

​​

"Are you going back to the rehearsal now? The concert at night is probably going to be a lot of hard work." Jason Mraz pulled Evan Bell's wild thoughts back, and Evan Bell realized that what was in his mind just now I was thinking of some messed up stuff.

​​

"Yes, now go back to the rehearsal. Life still has to go on, doesn't it?" Evan Bell looked back at the cemetery door behind him. The group of Catherine Burns in the distance had become a small black spot, a A white tombstone stands up, making the cold of this winter more and more distinct. Evan Bell couldn't help muttering, "When was the winter in Miami so bad."
