About this listen

In this honest and intimate, amazing conversation Major General Stephen Day DSC AM, RSL Qld State President, speaks with the Radio Show about being overseas on service, during Xmas. Stephen speaks about the benefits of compassion in leadership, of forgiveness and mercy, about veterans finding human dignity in work, taking a closer look at the veteran narrative, of soldiers having "the right stuff", of the recognition of Vietnam veterans being a turning point. Stephen also takes us back to his childhood with memories of his mother missing her husband, who was serving in Vietnam, of his mother renting a TV for Xmas...and of Stephen, as a 7-year old, watching The Flintstones on Xmas Day.
