There's something I wanna tell you. After I got shot, you wanna know the very first thing...

Dear John • 2010

John Tyree:
There's something I wanna tell you. After I got shot, you wanna know the very first thing that entered my mind? Before I blacked out? Coins. I'm eight years old again on a tour of the U.S. Mint. I'm listening to a guy explain how coins are made. How they're punched out of sheet metal. How they're rimmed and beveled. How they're stamped and cleaned. And how each and every batch of coin are personally examined just in case any of them slipped though with the slightest imperfection. That's what popped into my head. I'm a Coin of the United States Army. I was minted in the year 1980. I've been punched from sheet metal. I've been stamped and cleaned. My edges have been rimmed and beveled. But now I have two small holes in me. I'm no longer in perfect condition

There's something I've been wanting to tell you

00:00:05.337 --> 00:00:07.038

You remember a few years back

00:00:08.034 --> 00:00:10.216

when I got shot

00:00:12.344 --> 00:00:14.429

Well you wanna know the very first thing

00:00:14.597 --> 00:00:17.014

that entered my mind at that moment

00:00:17.308 --> 00:00:19.309

Right before I blacked out

00:00:22.098 --> 00:00:24.773

Coins

00:00:27.234 --> 00:00:29.527

Suddenly I was 8 years old again

00:00:29.695 --> 00:00:31.863

I was on that tour of the U S Mint

00:00:32.999 --> 00:00:35.116

I was listening to the guide explain how coins are made

00:00:35.284 --> 00:00:39.204

How they're punched out of sheet metal and how they're rimmed and beveled

00:00:39.371 --> 00:00:41.664

How they're stamped and cleaned

00:00:41.832 --> 00:00:45.021

And how each and every batch of coins are personally examined

00:00:45.377 --> 00:00:50.298

in case any have slipped through with the slightest imperfection

00:00:51.926 --> 00:00:53.176

Do you remember that Dad

00:00:53.344 --> 00:00:56.387

I mean do you remember that trip to Philadelphia we took

00:01:00.601 --> 00:01:02.977

That's what popped into my head

00:01:06.044 --> 00:01:10.036

I'm a coin of the United States Army

00:01:11.779 --> 00:01:14.489

And I was minted in the year 1 980

00:01:15.908 --> 00:01:18.001

I've been punched from sheet metal

00:01:18.702 --> 00:01:20.995

I've been stamped and cleaned

00:01:22.456 --> 00:01:25.875

And my edges have been rimmed and beveled

00:01:29.255 --> 00:01:31.084

But now I have two small holes in me

00:01:32.758 --> 00:01:35.426

So I'm no longer in perfect condition

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.917

والدى العزيز

00:00:02.918 --> 00:00:05.293

هناك شيئ أريد أن أخبرك عنه

00:00:07.252 --> 00:00:11.336

أتتذكر عندما أ صبت بطلق نارى

00:00:14.338 --> 00:00:18.714

هل تعلم ما أول شيئ جال بخاطرى

00:00:18.715 --> 00:00:21.132

قبل أن أفقد الوعي

00:00:24.967 --> 00:00:27.342

إنها القطع النقدية

00:00:29.218 --> 00:00:33.802

أنا بالثامنة من عمرى مرة أخرى خلال جولة فى أرض الوطن

00:00:33.845 --> 00:00:36.804

أنصت إلى شخص يوضح كيف ص نعت تللك القطع النقدية

00:00:36.804 --> 00:00:41.998

عن طريق آلة صناعة تلك القطع النقدية و التى تجعلها مشابهه للفقاعات

00:00:41.003 --> 00:00:43.999

ثم يتم صكها و تنظيفها

00:00:43.999 --> 00:00:46.974

بعد ذلك يتم فحص كل قطعة نقدية

00:00:46.974 --> 00:00:51.003

تحسبا لوجود بعض القطع النقدية الم عيبة

00:00:53.643 --> 00:00:57.686

هل تذكر هذا عندما أخبرتنى بنفسك عن ذلك

00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:05.098

هذا ما جال بخاطرى

00:01:08.273 --> 00:01:12.998

أنا كقطعة نقدية بالجيش الأمريكى

00:01:13.649 --> 00:01:16.608

و تم صكى بالجيش فى عام 1980

00:01:17.999 --> 00:01:23.569

تم تدريبى جيدا إلى أن أصبحت م لما بكل شيئ

00:01:31.155 --> 00:01:33.572

و الآن أنا م صاب بطلق نارى

00:01:34.999 --> 00:01:37.999

و لم أعد بحالة جيدة

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.048

Il y a une chose que je voulais te dire

00:00:05.036 --> 00:00:09.084

C'était il y a quelques années quand j'ai été blessé

00:00:12.052 --> 00:00:16.052

Sais tu ce qui m'est d'abord passé par l'esprit à ce moment précis

00:00:17.024 --> 00:00:19.000

Juste avant de m'évanouir

00:00:23.998 --> 00:00:24.072

Les pièces de monnaie

00:00:27.028 --> 00:00:31.044

Je me retrouvais soudain à l'âge de 8 ans en visite à la Monnaie américaine

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.052

J'écoutais le guide parler de la fabrication

00:00:35.002 --> 00:00:36.006

Comment on les sort de la feuille de métal

00:00:36.008 --> 00:00:38.088

Comment on les cercle et on les biseaute

00:00:39.032 --> 00:00:41.048

Comment on les frappe et on les nettoie

00:00:41.068 --> 00:00:45.072

Et comment chaque lot de pièces est examiné pour ne pas laisser passer

00:00:45.096 --> 00:00:49.036

une pièce avec la moindre imperfection

00:00:51.076 --> 00:00:55.068

Te rappelles tu ce voyage jusqu'à Philadelphie papa

00:01:00.048 --> 00:01:02.064

Voilà ce qui a surgi dans mon esprit

00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:09.999

Je suis une pièce de l'Armée des É U

00:01:11.084 --> 00:01:13.001

Et j'ai été frappé en 1980

00:01:15.008 --> 00:01:20.056

J'ai été sorti d'une feuille de métal J'ai été frappé et nettoyé

00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:25.999

Mes bords ont été cerclés et biseautés

00:01:29.016 --> 00:01:34.999

Mais maintenant j'ai 2 petits trous en moi Je ne suis plus en parfait état

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.957

Ich will dir etwas erzählen

00:00:05.087 --> 00:00:09.798

Weißt du noch wie ich vor ein paar Jahren angeschossen wurde

00:00:12.261 --> 00:00:17.052

Weißt du woran ich als Erstes dachte in dem Moment

00:00:17.224 --> 00:00:19.009

Bevor ich ohnmächtig wurde

00:00:23.998 --> 00:00:24.058

An Münzen

00:00:27.193 --> 00:00:31.733

Ich war wieder acht Jahre alt und in der Münzprägeanstalt

00:00:31.906 --> 00:00:36.401

Der Führer erklärte wie Münzen aus Blech gestanzt werden

00:00:36.577 --> 00:00:41.413

Sie werden gerändelt und abgeschrägt geprägt und gereinigt

00:00:41.582 --> 00:00:45.166

Und jede einzelne Charge wird persönlich untersucht

00:00:45.336 --> 00:00:49.205

damit es nicht den geringsten Fehler gibt

00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.001

Weißt du noch Dad Wie wir nach Philadelphia gefahren sind

00:01:00.518 --> 00:01:02.805

Daran dachte ich

00:01:06.315 --> 00:01:09.854

Ich bin eine Münze in der US Armee

00:01:11.654 --> 00:01:13.941

Ich wurde 1980 gemünzt

00:01:15.741 --> 00:01:20.001

Ich wurde aus Blech gestanzt Ich wurde geprägt und gereinigt

00:01:22.331 --> 00:01:25.119

Ich wurde gerändelt und abgeschrägt

00:01:29.001 --> 00:01:34.462

Aber jetzt habe ich zwei kleine Löcher Ich bin nicht mehr perfekt

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.833

Ada sesuatu yang ingin kukatakan padamu

00:00:05.338 --> 00:00:07.363

Ayah masih ingat beberapa tahun lalu

00:00:08.308 --> 00:00:10.208

saat aku tertembak

00:00:12.345 --> 00:00:14.404

Ayah ingin tahu apa hal pertama yang

00:00:14.404 --> 00:00:17.106

terlintas di pikiranku saat itu

00:00:17.106 --> 00:00:19.274

Sebelum aku tak sadarkan diri

00:00:22.956 --> 00:00:24.753

Koin

00:00:27.227 --> 00:00:29.525

Tiba tiba aku berumur 8 tahun lagi

00:00:29.525 --> 00:00:31.857

Aku ikut sebuah tur ke Perum Percetakan Uang Negara

00:00:31.857 --> 00:00:35.001

Aku mendengarkan penjelasan pemandu mengenai proses pembuatan uang logam

00:00:35.001 --> 00:00:39.204

Bagaimana mereka membentuknya dari logam dibentuk bulat dan diukur ketebalannya

00:00:39.204 --> 00:00:41.636

Bagaimana di cap dan dibersihkan

00:00:41.636 --> 00:00:45.209

Dan bagaimana setiap kumpulan koin itu diperiksa per kepingnya

00:00:45.209 --> 00:00:50.281

Hanya untuk memastikan tak ada yang cacat dari uang logam itu

00:00:51.918 --> 00:00:53.146

Apa Ayah ingat itu

00:00:53.146 --> 00:00:56.379

Maksudku apa Ayah ingat perjalanan kita ke Philadelphia

00:01:00.593 --> 00:01:02.959

Itu yang terlintas di pikiranku

00:01:06.432 --> 00:01:10.334

Aku koin di Angkatan Darat AS

00:01:11.771 --> 00:01:14.467

Aku dicetak pada tahun 1980

00:01:15.875 --> 00:01:18.001

Aku ditempa dengan baja

00:01:18.678 --> 00:01:20.976

Aku dicap dan dibersihkan

00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:25.849

Pelindung kepalaku dibentuk bulat dan tebal

00:01:29.255 --> 00:01:31.815

Tapi sekarang ada dua lubang kecil ditubuhku

00:01:32.999 --> 00:01:35.387

Aku tidak lagi dalam kondisi prima

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.957

Дорогой папа

00:00:03.211 --> 00:00:05.453

Хочу тебе кое что сказать

00:00:07.298 --> 00:00:09.504

Когда я схватил пулю

00:00:10.343 --> 00:00:12.419

прошло уже несколько лет

00:00:14.043 --> 00:00:17.514

Хочешь знать что первое мелькнуло у меня в голове

00:00:17.725 --> 00:00:19.267

перед тем как я отключился

00:00:25.149 --> 00:00:28.518

Монеты

00:00:29.153 --> 00:00:33.732

Мне вдруг снова 8 лет и я на экскурсии на монетном дворе

00:00:33.095 --> 00:00:36.655

Постигаю процесс производства монет

00:00:37.161 --> 00:00:41.206

Из металла вырубают заготовки делают гурт насечки

00:00:41.415 --> 00:00:43.704

Полируют после чеканки

00:00:43.096 --> 00:00:49.879

И внимательно проверяют все до единой монеты

00:00:50.133 --> 00:00:52.541

Для того чтобы исключить всякие дефекты

00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:58.381

Ты помнишь наше путешествие в Филадельфию Помнишь пап

00:01:02.436 --> 00:01:04.001

Это в голову влетело

00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:12.149

Я монета Американской армии

00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:16.402

Пущен в оборот в 80 м

00:01:17.999 --> 00:01:20.996

Вырублен из металла

00:01:20.058 --> 00:01:22.822

Отчеканен отполирован

00:01:24.375 --> 00:01:27.958

Снабжен ободком насечками

00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:34.049

Но сейчас во мне две дырочки

00:01:34.001 --> 00:01:37.464

Я больше не в идеальном состоянии

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.963

Querido papá hay una cosa que quiero contarte

00:00:07.091 --> 00:00:11.638

Recuerdas algunos años atrás cuando yo recibí un disparo

00:00:14.035 --> 00:00:18.897

Quieres saber lo primero que me vino a la mente

00:00:19.023 --> 00:00:21.359

antes de desmayarme

00:00:24.905 --> 00:00:26.867

Monedas

00:00:29.001 --> 00:00:31.372

Tengo ocho años de nuevo

00:00:31.456 --> 00:00:33.667

y estaba en la Casa de la Moneda de Estados Unidos

00:00:33.751 --> 00:00:37.013

Estoy oyendo a un guía explicar como son hechas las monedas

00:00:37.172 --> 00:00:41.004

Como son cortadas de una placa de metal bordeadas y biseladas

00:00:41.177 --> 00:00:43.022

Como se acuñan y limpian

00:00:43.554 --> 00:00:46.933

Y como todas esas monedas son examinadas una a una

00:00:47.225 --> 00:00:51.019

para el caso de haber planchado una con la menor imperfección

00:00:53.567 --> 00:00:57.781

Recuerdas eso padre Nuestro viaje a Filadelfia

00:01:01.745 --> 00:01:05.166

Fue lo que me pasó por la cabeza

00:01:08.211 --> 00:01:12.592

Soy una moneda del Ejército Militar Americano

00:01:13.593 --> 00:01:16.764

Fui acuñado en 1980

00:01:17.064 --> 00:01:20.185

Fui cortado de una placa metálica

00:01:20.001 --> 00:01:22.688

Fui sellado limpiado

00:01:24.148 --> 00:01:28.999

Y mis márgenes fueron bordeados y biselados

00:01:31.116 --> 00:01:33.911

Pero ahora tengo dos pequeños agujeros en mí

00:01:34.453 --> 00:01:37.994

No estoy más en perfectas condiciones
