From Kabul Hitches to Salem Witches

The medics apply bandages to their exterior wounds, But their battle scars go to the bone and then push right through to the heart. Science has not yet found a way to stitch up the invisible gashes that threaten to split their brains and spear their hearts.
Who are they?
They are the young people of battle who came home without their faces and bodies scarred, but with their souls in shreds.
They are men like Audie Murphy who was the most decorated American soldier in history. He was able to stand alone against hundreds of enemy soldiers and tanks – but in the end was not able to stand up to his own memories.
They are men like Sgt. James Davis of Barnstable Village, Massachusetts, but more recently from Iraq and Afghanistan; whose story is told in the following adventure in the city of witches – Salem, Massachusetts.
