Vietnam Veterans' Day

Our Service is held each year on 18 August at Elsie Laver Park

The Vietnam Veterans' Day Commemorative Service, held each year on 18 August at Elsie Laver Park, provides an opportunity for the community to honour and remember those who served in the Vietnam War.

Conducted at the local war memorial, the service typically includes wreath laying, the playing of the Last Post, and a period of silence, bringing together veterans, families, and the wider community in reflection and respect. 

The day recognises the service and sacrifice of more than 60,000 Australians who served in Vietnam, many of whom did not receive proper recognition on their return.

The ceremony stands as a solemn tribute to their contribution and a reminder of the enduring legacy of Vietnam veterans within the community.

All are welcome.
