Vietnam Veterans Day
On Sunday 17 August the Merimbula RSL Sub Branch held a service in Merimbula to recognise the invaluable contribution of those who served and sacrificed during Australia’s 10-year involvement in the Vietnam War. Around 40 people attended and we sincerely thank everyone who was part of the service.
Vietnam Veterans Day is recognised on August 18 every year to honour over 60,000 Australians from the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), Australian Army, and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) who served in the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1973. Of these, 15,381 were young men conscripted under the National Service Scheme, plucked from their regular careers, trained and sent to fight.
In 1975, additional personnel from the Royal Australian Air Force returned to Vietnam to carry out evacuations and assist refugees in the lead-up to South Vietnam’s surrender. Of those who served, 523 died and around 3,000 were evacuated with wounds, injuries or illnesses. Many returned carrying the psychological scars of war. We acknowledge and honour the selfless service of our Vietnam veterans. Their sacrifice is not forgotten. Lest we forget.
