Please take a few minutes to watch this film with Sergeant Dave Hayden MC – a highly decorated veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, who served for 24 years with the RAF. It’s a story of incredible heroism, bravery, loyalty, loss and, sadly, heartbreak, when Dave’s world disintegrated around him as crippling PTSD took hold. But there is hope, too. Thanks to military charities, Dave has rebuilt his life and, in his own words, now ‘has a reason to get up in the morning.’ Please note, this video contains strong language and details relating to suicide.
