scars

Army veteran Derek “Benny” Bennett, who spent 25 years as a member of the armed forces, said the “scars” service personnel carried from “less talked-about” wars were just as real as those experienced by former soldiers who fought in more prominent conflicts.

He points out the bite marks on his forearms and adds: "So, I hurt myself all the time - see the scars here?"

Five years later, the scars remain.

This is a useful and thoughtful gift for gardeners tired of sporting itchy scars after a day in the yard.

We have to do everything in our power to provide our youth and families with the resources they need to process their fears and traumas before we harden the scars that will last a lifetime.
