The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) continues to produce soldiers, sailors and airmen and women of the highest calibre globally. This hasn't changed throughout the years. We must keep the focus on the positives as the foundation on how to provide solutions for any veteran issues we have.

In order to do that, we must understand the future focus of the NZDF and celebrate our country, our defence force and its people, because we continue to punch above our weight globally, in and out of the uniform. 

Many of us Veterans are still serving our communities, countries, regions and the world. Thank you to the minister for agreeing to this interview and authorize its posting here for Success For Soldiers Veteran Chats, in The Lion Academy.
