Vietnam Veterans' Day Commemoration

This service commemorates all those who served in the Vietnam War, this years' service marks the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, and RAAF involvement leading up to this event in 1975.

We continue to honour the service and sacrifice of all Vietnam veterans on this day. Approximately 60,000 Australians served in the Vietnam War. Of these, 3,000 were wounded, and 521 were killed.

The service will commence at RAAF and Vietnam trees with the laying of wreaths at 10:30am, followed by a commemorative service on the Second World War Memorial Forecourt.

This service is organised by the Victorian branch of the Vietnam Veterans Association. All are welcome to attend and join in remembering our Vietnam Veterans.
