"Tonight, I went to my local Sikh Gurdwara, to offer my prayers for the well-being of all our soldiers. Our brave Aussie soldiers whilst protecting our freedom, face the challenge of this dreaded illness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). 8.3% of ADF members will have experienced PTSD in the last 12 months (ADF Health, Portal 2016)", said Daman Singh in this interview with SBS Punjabi.
