Vietnam Veterans' Day Service
Past Event
The Vietnam War was Australia's longest military engagement of the 20th Century.
The arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam in South Vietnam during July and August 1962 marked the start of Australia’s involvement in the war.
By the time the war had come to an end, almost 60,000 Australians served during a decade of conflict between 1962 and 1972. Tragically, 521 of them died and 3,000 were wounded.
On Vietnam Veterans' Day, we pause and reflect on the bravery, teamwork and endurance that Australians displayed throughout the war.
We also pause to reflect on the impact of service on our veterans' families.
Join RSL Albany at 2pm on Sunday, 20 August at the South East Asia Memorial Area in the Princess Royal Fortress precinct.
