Prisoner exchanges will also commence shortly, and families around the globe will be pleased to hear that loved ones will be repatriated within a month. Lastly, let us not forget the ones who can not return, having made the ultimate sacrifice. This conflict has made humanity stronger, yet at a great cost.

They also brought back tales of the alien world they fought and made peace on, stories which later helped establish a connection of trade and learning between the planets. Mankind as a whole grew more cautious as a species, wary of another misunderstanding that could spark such a terrible conflict. And lastly, everyone involved gained a greater appreciation for the versatility of duct tape.
