8 Veterans Vs a 6 Tonne Unimog - who wins?
The Vehicle Recovery Stand at the Veteran Games 2023 was the event where we witnessed anger, pain, teamwork, frustrations, breakthroughs, celebration, camaraderie, and everything in between. Thanks to UNIDAN, who provided the 6-tonne unimog, we had the pleasure of watching our teams move this beast with nothing but their bare hands, and tears (disguised as sweat).

Hi Heston listen and watch with huge interest and thankyou for sharing, with you all the way darlin’ mate - Chesfromoz
Go Swonnny!
BZ team!
Jeez, these boys are good!!!
Well done, team!
Awesome example of teamwork and loved the cargo net technique, looking forward to bringing Average Joe's to cheer and challenge you on the course for Veteran Games 2024 ;) Love your work Veteran Mentors!
When speaking with veterans who aren't yet part of veteran games or a team thinking about forming, I mention Ringwood RSL and their support. I often hear 'What an RSL that's supporting the team by paying for flights and accommodation, that's bloody awesome and something unheard of'. My encouragement to all RSLs is to jump in and show another version of support that's relevant for today's veterans in society. Well done, Ringwood RSL, by setting the example and leading the way.
Absolutely!! You've done an incredible job setting the example in Victoria and we are constantly inspired by the stories and community that has been created and carried on outside of the Veteran Games.
Fantastic, looking forward to another great games (that is as a volunteer/spectator. You guys are absolutely awesome!
Great concept, but while the mind says yes, the body (Ex SVN '66) says a VERY unequivocal NO!!!!
As soon as I heard the Veteran Games was announced I was determined to be there. I loved every minute. I have always held a place in my heart for our men and women in the forces. They are all hero’s and Heston is my special hero.I am so proud of him, especially all he is doing to help those struggling emotionally. I was lucky enough to meet Heston and thrilled to receive a cuddle from him. Shame on our government. I have no respect for them. Great video and thank you Sam for being such a great support to Heston and the work you put in. Despite being 81 years old, God willing I will be there again to support the competitors in 2024.
Thank you Pat, for your incredible, selfless and devoted support to our military men and women. Your support is ineffable and it was a delight to have you part of the weekend and the documentary. We can't wait to see you again this year! Much love from us x
👏👏👏👏
I was recently invited to watch a video about Veterans, a link was provided and we were asked to login at a specific time . At first I thought nah I can't be bothered but I put the time and date into my calendar anyway. I logged in expecting some sort of offer but I soon realised I was totally wrong. The video got right into the action showing ex military personnel (Veterans) of varying gender and ages. What I saw was an event that brought together groups of people, that bonded into teams. This is a really exciting and new concept and I guarantee This video will grab your interest. If you want to see fun, mate ship, mud sweat and the odd tear, this event is well worth watching. Congratulations to the organisers.... and must highlight former commando Heston Russell for the input he gave. I'm very grateful for the invite and can't wait until the next Veteran Games Event.
Thank you Jeff - this is awesome to read, i'm glad you threw it in the calendar anyway (despite time being the most valuable commodity) committed to watching it and were able to receive something you didn't expect and made it worthwhile for you. Thank you.
A great perspective.
I volunteered for the Veteran Games in 2023. It was an amazing experience to be part of the games. Fantastic to see the commradery, trust and fun that the teams had. I hope more RSL Sub branches and more sponsors will get involved in 2024 and on. Thank You Ringwood RSL for stepping up and being part of the games. Looking forward to volunteering again in 2024 Veteran Games.
Love it. From all of us at Tango Kilo Mike, thank you.
Amazing work from all involved, and amazing team spirit. Cant wait for bigger things next year (2024).
Exciting times ahead mate.
Damn! 🏆😍... Heston, I loved every minute of this! So exciting to see this come together. Massive hugs and thankyou.
Yes!! Thank you Mandy, glad you enjoyed every minute.
A joy to watch this gaining traction , would love to bring a team over .
Thanks Nick - happy to see what is possible.

A great Doco that captured the inaugural Veteran Games so well. Congrats to everyone involved in delivering such a great event.
Thank you legend. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love my soldiers presently serving, but I adore my vets. Thank you all for looking after us. 🩷
As a spectator and father of an Afghanistan veteran..... Thank you Heston and your team and thank you for your service to all competitors. Looking forward to 2024.
Lets go 2024!!! Ready.
Awesome achievements, congratulations to All. Enjoyed watching, hoping to be there next year.
Booyyaaa, thank you :) See you next year.
Ok, I’m hooked! I’ll find out what I have to do to join you next year. 😊
Yesss, lets go 2024 - see you there.
Absolutely brilliant - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. What a fabulous and inspirational doco. Heston - I wish the world had more people like you in it. What a blessing you have been to so many of our Veterans. Despite the shit you have faced, you continue to remain stoic and brave in the face of adversity. May the Veteran Games continue to go from strength to strength, as I'm sure they will.
Thank you & Thank you so much for watching!!! Really looking forward to next year and growing it year on year.
Well done Heston and Sam! What a fantastic initiative, and heartwarming to see so many Veterans getting around each other with a smile on their faces doing something for each other. One has to wonder where the support from the DVA and Federal/State Governments is on this?
Thank you so much :) The vibe at the event was unreal to be part of. Glad you got to see it come through in this. We'll try again next year with the government support.
Amazing!!! Great work Smith and Tropic Thunder!!!
Tropic Thunder, what underdogs ;)
That's my cousin that led that team 🥰 He's 51 years young and still kickin' ass!
See you next year lads 🏴☠️💀
Can't wait Bravo 6 - and thank you for the support of Jericho Australia.
The opening scenes remind me of basic training at Kapooka 1972. I was a nasho in 14 Platoon under Saergent Bobbin. All ADF members, past and present are and have always been family. Lest We Forget.
Thank you for your service mate
Thank you for this Heston. I’m here as a child of my father who was a WW2 veteran British SAS Scots Guards 1939-46…Palestine France NWEurope..he uncovered Belsen Bergen on reconnaissance. I witnessed him creating his heaven on earth within our little insulated family of four. No visitors, just us. This love in the family obviously helped him heal. He never drank or lost his temper. I would have wished for him to have a group like this for him. Even if he was functional and a family man it would have been good for him and his little family to have a solid group of friends to connect with. Although the family life was full of love, the isolated upbringing has rubbed off on me. I am very much like my father.
Thank you for your Father's service - and thank you for watching this. Community and Connection is most definitely needed, no matter what :)
@@veterangames yes connection is so important…I noticed after connecting into a USA military self help group…there were common elements of culture that were extremely familiar to me and I felt I was in a unique ‘family’. After a while I gradually realised it is a military culture that is ingrained into not only the service person, but it becomes part of the family or loved ones. The army never left my father and I can easily spot it in others. It’s a unique cultural trait that is often not understood by others outside the military. This is why it’s so important for the veteran and family to connect into the group such as yours. I will try to help perhaps Ringwood group as it’s closest to me.
Amazing - love it, looking forward to 2024
Thank you legend - we look forward to having STAIT on board again, for 2024.
Thankyou for streaming this live, great job.
We'll get your autograph later - thanks for your involvement and continuous support!
@@veterangames no worries, done - I love this and look forward to bringing the team back in 2024 better than Average lol :)
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 congratulation our heroes!!! ❤❤❤ U have done great things for our country!!!🎉🎉🎉
My thoughts echo your comment. They are HEROES.
Great work guy's. Looking forward to this. 👍🇦🇺👍
Thanks Heston.
Great stuff! 💪 ⚔️ 🇬🇧
