A sculpture to recognise the sufferings caused by war and service has been commissioned at the Australian War Memorial for those who have experienced and witnessed the ongoing trauma from serving in the military. Veterans’ Ambassador Glenn Kolomeitz told Sky News “this is an amazing initiative ... to firstly recognise trauma suffered by our troops and their families, not necessarily in combat, but after combat, so having returned home.” “It goes to the veteran suicide dilemma in this country and … it’s an amazing way to recognise our fallen and those circumstances and to give the families the opportunity to honour them and to grieve at our national memorial”. If you or someone you know in the Defence community needs support, please reach out to one of the following organisations: Open Arms: 1800 011 046 Defence Family Helpline: 1800 624 608 Lifeline: 13 11 14 Defence All-Hours Support Line: 1800 628 036
