Vietnam Veterans Day 2024

Vietnam Veterans’ Day (18 August) recognises the invaluable contribution of Australians who served 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 wounded or fell ill, and – amidst strong anti-war sentiment – many who returned home were treated unfairly by some members of the community.

Vietnam Veterans’ Day is a chance for us all to pay the respects that Vietnam vets were often denied, but always deserved.

Lest we forget.
