The fortunate will experience a minor wound that will heal, but the scar will remain. For others the wound will never completely heal. It will haunt and cause them pain for the rest of their lives. Some will be mortally wounded; they will die of their wounds slowly, but always in agony, too often in violence.

They will receive no Purple Hearts and seldom any help or understanding.
