True Blue Conversations - Linton “Harry” Harris - 1RAR / 2 Cav Veteran
Description
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.
