Thirty-nine-year-old Preng Braug stepped on a landmine in1994while fighting with guerilla forces for civil defense as the Khmer Rouge were losing power in Cambodia. He lost his left leg below the knee and wears an old prosthesis with a wooden foot. Unbuttoning his shirt to cool off during the sweltering monson heat, he reveals scars from the shrapnel that imbedded into his abdomen when he stepped on the landmine.
