Edmonton RSL Vietnam Veterans' Day 2026

Join us to commemorate

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 on 18 August. 

All are welcome. 

Lest we forget.
