Soldier in Sask. speaks out about mental illness
Growing up in Kamloops, B.C., Sergeant Grant Greenall always wanted to be a soldier.
“Everyone else was reading Archie comics, I was reading Sergeant Rock and the Unknown Soldier,” he said, sitting at his table in Dundurn, Sask. next to his wife Charlotte, who also serves as a reservist.
Greenall got his wish, joining up in the 80's.
He did his first overseas deployment in Cyprus, and then in the 90's, he did three tours in the former Yugoslavia as part of Canada's contribution to peacekeeping efforts there.
