Prince Harry draws attention to plight of war wounded as he collects Washington award

Veterans groups say the several years that the administration often takes to
process claims by former warriors suffering from post-traumatic-stress
disorder and other problems has led to roughly 6,500 suicides a year.

“For these selfless people, it is after the guns have fallen silent, the
din of battle quietened, that the real fight begins, a fight that may last
for the rest of their lives,” Prince Harry said.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was also honoured, receiving the Atlantic
Council’s Distinguished International Leadership award.
