Hear from our latest Veteran of the Day, Mark "Henry" Lawson.
Steve Price: That you're a military career in a moment. I just want to, on that theme when you're serving in the, uh, in the Australian armed forces, um, how much of that is that you are doing a job for Australia as well as doing something as an individual?
Mark: Well, that's a bloody good question. I think it's each, because if you it's the foundation of why you're there, it's the foundation, you know, th that, that spirit of Australia representing a country is the foundation of everything you do. And I think, uh, because of the absolute, um, the pace of the unit I was in SAS was, um, it's very, you gotta be back to, uh, you know, the foundation of why we're there. Um, because everyone wants a career. Everyone must succeed highly competitive. You know what I mean, as good as you laugh at all, you know, cause you said earlier that it's always standing good standing editive manner to lift you up, not put you down. So, um, so like that, you know, when you wear your heart on your sleeve, it's to do a good job representing your country, not when you're getting feedback, that's when you put your heart off and put it back in your pocket, and then you get your notebook out and say, sorry, in the spirit of representing your country, it's definitely foundation's favorite present the speed and the top of top, some of the danger, um, and some of the very, uh, here would you say, very detailed tasks and planning and execution of very dangerous, uh, things that you do even in training you're, um, you know, you tend to think about self, getting the job, getting the job done well.
