VEAL THOM, KAMPONG SPEU, CAMBODIA - 2003/06/01: Som Soeun, 54, lost his leg and part of his hand while fighting with Cambodian Army against the Khmer Rouge near Anlong Veng in 1998. One of his children plays near a hammock in the background. Deep in the hinterlands, down a rutted dirt road, a small village shelters the remnants of Cambodia’s civil war. Some 200 disabled veterans - both Khmer Rouge and government soldiers - and their families have moved to Veal Thom, or “Big Field.” There they build huts, grow rice, cultivate flowers and do what society will not allow in their homelands: live in peace. Though they lost limbs and parts of their lives in Cambodia's civil war, their wounds mark them as outcasts in the Cambodian society.. (Photo by Jerry Redfern/LightRocket via Getty Images)
