On Todays podcast, I speak with an Australian Army 1 RAR / 2 Cav
veteran. This is
a story of the tenacity of Linton "HARRY" Harris, joining the army
not once but twice,
in his quest for purpose. Harry’s 1st term of service included
deployment to Somalia,
Africa, as a 19-year-old. Re-enlisting after a 7-year break,
Harry's 2nd term of
service included 2 tours to Iraq, resulting in the awarding of the
Commendation for
Distinguished Service. After service, seeking the quest for a
purpose that is often an
issue for Veterans, Harry rose to the position of VP of the
Tasmanian RSL, only to be
betrayed by that organisation, while fighting for the plight of a
homeless veteran,
leading to a mental breakdown, and suicidal ideation, due to the
RSLs treachery. An
incredible story that goes to show you don't have to be in special
forces to serve at
the pointiest end.
