Wars end, but the killing and maiming go on.
A few months ago in Egypt, a land mine killed a young girl and blinded her brother. The weapon was planted by Nazi forces in 1942. Experts estimate up to 180 million active land mines are buried in nearly 70 countries. Each year, as many as 26,000 people encounter these lethal wartime legacies. DoD is helping remove this menace from the world's farms and fields.
