Vietnam Veterans’ Day (18 August) recognises the invaluable contribution of Australians who served and sacrificed in the Vietnam War.
More than 60,000 Australians served in Vietnam from 1962 to 1973, with some returning for humanitarian operations in 1975.
Sadly, 523 died, some 3,000 were evacuated with wounds, injuries or illnesses, and - amidst strong community opposition to the war - many who returned home were not treated with the respect and honour they deserved.
Vietnam Veterans' Day is a chance for us all to recognise the service and sacrifice of Vietnam veterans - a legacy that many have continued out of uniform as dedicated community leaders and volunteers.
Join us in honouring Australia's Vietnam veterans at Weeroona Park, Stanthorpe at 11 am on 18 August 2024.
Lest we forget.
