-On Remembrance Sunday, we pay

-homage to those killed in war...

0:00:000:00:04

-..from Llangennech near Llanelli.

0:00:040:00:07

0:00:250:00:30

-We'll hear hymns and readings

-befitting Remembrance Sunday.

0:00:440:00:48

-We'll take a look at the work...

0:00:480:00:50

-..of a charity

-that supports military veterans...

0:00:510:00:54

-..and we'll meet one such veteran.

0:00:550:00:57

-We'll also enjoy performances

-by Jessica Robinson....

0:00:580:01:02

-..and Rhys Meirion.

0:01:030:01:05

-The congregational singing

-comes from Salem, Llangennech.

0:01:080:01:12

-The first hymn

-is Duw A Thad Yr Holl Genhedloedd.

0:01:120:01:15

-For those

-who leave the armed forces...

0:03:230:03:26

-..and face difficulties

-after military duty...

0:03:260:03:29

-..there is help at hand.

0:03:290:03:31

-Charities like Change Step

-in Colwyn Bay...

0:03:320:03:34

-..make a difference

-to veterans' lives.

0:03:350:03:37

-Change Step

-provides a mentoring service...

0:03:400:03:44

-..throughout Wales...

0:03:440:03:48

-..to support military veterans.

0:03:480:03:51

-In essence, it's a

-peer mentoring and advice service.

0:03:510:03:57

-It means that veterans themselves...

0:03:580:04:00

-..offer support to other veterans

-who've encountered problems...

0:04:010:04:06

-..after leaving the armed forces.

0:04:060:04:10

-The problems soldiers face

-after leaving the army...

0:04:120:04:18

-..are very diverse.

0:04:180:04:22

-The more obvious problems...

0:04:220:04:25

-..are mental health issues, PTSD...

0:04:260:04:29

-..unemployment and homelessness.

0:04:290:04:33

-Rarely it's just one problem

-that they encounter.

0:04:330:04:37

-There's usually

-a whole heap of problems...

0:04:370:04:41

-..and it's often the case...

0:04:410:04:43

-..that there are

-no services out there...

0:04:440:04:47

-..equipped to deal with

-each individual problem.

0:04:470:04:51

-There are other services available

-which support military veterans...

0:04:510:04:56

-..but Change Step tries to

-co-ordinate all those services.

0:04:560:05:00

-Hello there. How are you doing?

0:05:020:05:04

-Hello there. How are you doing?

-

-Sound, yeah. How are you?

0:05:040:05:06

-I had a look in the window and

-I thought I'd pop in and see you.

0:05:060:05:10

-OK, yeah, come and have a seat.

0:05:100:05:13

-My name's Mike Davies.

-I'm a mentor for Change Step.

0:05:130:05:17

-Do you speak Welsh?

0:05:170:05:19

-Mike Davies' story

-is a prime example.

0:05:190:05:22

-It typifies the kinds of problems

-military veterans face...

0:05:220:05:27

-..when they leave the army.

0:05:270:05:29

-Mike's had issues with alcohol.

0:05:290:05:33

-He's been homeless

-and has received no support at all.

0:05:330:05:38

-But over recent months...

0:05:380:05:41

-..since he's become a volunteer

-for CAIS and Change Step...

0:05:410:05:45

-..he's turned a corner.

0:05:450:05:47

-The kind of assistance he provides

-for other veterans...

0:05:470:05:52

-..is something

-they all can empathize with.

0:05:520:05:56

-They understand the problems.

0:05:560:05:58

-Problems that we as professional

-people don't understand as much.

0:05:580:06:04

-Pride is often a big issue

-with military veterans.

0:06:070:06:12

-Because of that...

0:06:120:06:14

-..they find it hard

-to seek help and support.

0:06:140:06:19

-There's a stigma attached to

-those kinds of issues in the army.

0:06:190:06:24

-As Christians,

-we have a moral duty...

0:06:240:06:27

-..to look after veterans

-in our communities.

0:06:270:06:31

-They're not

-looking for handouts or charity.

0:06:310:06:34

-Often it's their pride...

0:06:340:06:38

-..that stops them seeking support.

0:06:380:06:42

-Jessica Robinson

-from Pembrokeshire...

0:08:460:08:49

-..recently graduated from the Royal

-Welsh College of Music and Drama.

0:08:500:08:54

-She will perform

-O Doed Dy Deyrnas Nefol Dad...

0:08:540:08:57

-..sung to the hymn tune Fulda.

0:08:570:08:59

-# We have a gospel to proclaim

0:09:040:09:12

-# Good news for all

-throughout the earth

0:09:120:09:19

-# The gospel of a Saviour's name

0:09:200:09:28

-# We sing his glory, tell his worth

0:09:280:09:38

-# Now we rejoice to name him King

0:09:490:09:56

-# Jesus is Lord of all the earth

0:09:570:10:04

-# This gospel message we proclaim

0:10:040:10:12

-# We sing his glory

0:10:120:10:18

-# Tell his truth #

0:10:190:10:29

-Someone who's benefited from the

-Change Step charity is Allan Morgan.

0:10:480:10:53

-The veteran from Ystradgynlais

-has made the most...

0:10:530:10:57

-..of the charity's services.

0:10:570:10:59

-I served in the army

-for nine years...

0:11:020:11:05

-..from 1968 to 1977.

0:11:050:11:08

-I was then posted

-to the mortar platoon...

0:11:080:11:11

-..in the 1st Battalion

-Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

0:11:120:11:16

-We went all over the world, and

-after returning from Hong Kong...

0:11:170:11:21

-..I was posted

-to Northern Ireland...

0:11:210:11:24

-..to Ebrington Barracks,

-Londonderry.

0:11:240:11:27

-We were all frightened - we

-patrolled the streets as security...

0:11:280:11:34

-..caught in the middle

-of the Protestants and Catholics.

0:11:340:11:39

-It was incredibly difficult,

-to be honest.

0:11:390:11:43

-Serving in Northern Ireland

-turned you from a boy into a man...

0:11:450:11:50

-..in one day.

0:11:510:11:53

-You had to make that transition.

-You had to.

0:11:530:11:56

-When I left the army,

-it was difficult.

0:12:000:12:03

-I didn't know

-what to do with myself.

0:12:030:12:08

-I was used to people telling me

-when to get up, when to eat...

0:12:080:12:13

-..which clothes to wear.

0:12:140:12:17

-It's all set out for you.

0:12:170:12:19

-When you come out,

-there's no routine.

0:12:200:12:22

-You feel lost.

0:12:230:12:25

-My health started to deteriorate

-30 years after leaving the army.

0:12:340:12:40

-With PTSD...

0:12:400:12:42

-..it catches you unawares.

0:12:450:12:47

-You can't draw breath.

0:12:470:12:49

-You perspire, you can't sleep.

0:12:500:12:52

-You're frightened.

0:12:520:12:54

-You keep checking the rooftops.

0:12:550:12:57

-This is what life is like for me

-and many other veterans too.

0:12:580:13:02

-There was no support available.

0:13:090:13:12

-I went to the doctor's surgery and

-she suggested I take some pills...

0:13:120:13:17

-..but I didn't want to take

-any pills, I needed help.

0:13:170:13:21

-Change Step was very supportive.

0:13:230:13:25

-It helped not only me

-but other lads suffering from PTSD.

0:13:250:13:30

-They took us into the countryside.

0:13:300:13:32

-It opened doors for us.

0:13:330:13:36

-Some men work with dogs.

0:13:370:13:39

-I like horses...

0:13:400:13:42

-..and I find solace in horses...

0:13:420:13:46

-..down at CHAPS in Gowerton.

0:13:460:13:48

-It's a tremendous help.

0:13:490:13:51

-Superb!

0:13:510:13:53

-I'm trying to deal with

-my symptoms. I think I'm winning.

0:13:540:13:58

-I can't say.

0:13:580:14:00

-For me, Remembrance Sunday

-is a time to say thank you...

0:14:010:14:07

-..to all those people

-who never returned.

0:14:070:14:11

-That's important to me.

0:14:110:14:13

-Next we go to Ypres in Belgium...

0:16:240:16:26

-..where Rhys Meirion

-performs Tell My Father...

0:16:260:16:30

-..a song from the Civil War musical

-about the American Civil War.

0:16:310:16:36

-# Tell my father

-that his son didn't run

0:16:410:16:51

-# Or surrender

0:16:510:16:55

-# That I bore his name with pride

0:16:570:17:03

-# As I tried to remember

0:17:030:17:10

-# You are judged by what you do

0:17:130:17:17

-# While passing through

0:17:180:17:25

-# As I rest beneath fields of green

0:17:290:17:34

-# Let him lean on my shoulder

0:17:350:17:43

-# Tell him how I spent my youth

0:17:450:17:49

-# So the truth could grow older

0:17:500:17:58

-# Tell my father when you can

0:18:000:18:06

-# I was a man

0:18:060:18:13

-# Tell him we will meet again

0:18:160:18:22

-# Where the angels

0:18:220:18:26

-# Learn to fly

0:18:260:18:31

-# Tell him we will meet as men

0:18:310:18:36

-# For with honour did I die

0:18:380:18:46

-# Tell him how I wore the blue

0:18:480:18:53

-# Proud and true through the fire

0:18:540:19:02

-# Tell my father so he'll know

0:19:050:19:09

-# I love him so

0:19:110:19:17

-# Tell him we will meet again

0:19:210:19:27

-# Where the angels learn to fly

0:19:270:19:36

-# Tell me we will meet as men

0:19:370:19:42

-# For with honour did I die

0:19:430:19:52

-# Tell him how I wore the blue

0:19:550:20:01

-# Proud and true like he taught me

0:20:010:20:10

-# Tell my father not to cry

0:20:120:20:18

-# Then say goodbye #

0:20:190:20:32

-Let us remember before God...

0:20:390:20:41

-..those who have died

-for their country in war.

0:20:410:20:46

-Those whom we knew

-and whose memory we treasure...

0:20:460:20:53

-..and those whom we did not know.

0:20:530:20:55

-We remember all who have lived

-and died in the service of mankind.

0:20:580:21:03

-The persecuted,

-the innocent, the hungry...

0:21:030:21:06

-..those who were exiled

-and those who were imprisoned.

0:21:070:21:11

-The oppressed and the missing.

0:21:120:21:15

-Through your love

-the nations are united.

0:21:150:21:19

-May this love

-be reflected on earth and mankind...

0:21:190:21:23

-..and enable us to live together

-in harmony and with you.

0:21:230:21:27

-It's time for the final hymn.

0:21:370:21:39

-We end Remembrance Sunday

-with the words of Eifion Wyn.

0:21:390:21:43

-"Efengyl tangnefedd

-o rhed dros y byd
