About
Heads bow and medals gleam as Moe RSL gathers the community to honour those who served in one of Australia's most defining conflicts. This is a moment of quiet dignity, shared gratitude, and lasting remembrance.
Vietnam Veterans Day is observed nationally on 18 August each year, marking the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966. Moe RSL hosts a formal commemorative service open to veterans, families, and members of the public who wish to pay their respects to those who served in the Vietnam War.
Attendees can expect a solemn outdoor ceremony featuring veterans proudly wearing their service medals, a gathering of community members across generations, and the reflective atmosphere of collective remembrance. The service provides an opportunity to stand alongside those who served and to acknowledge their sacrifice firsthand.
Events like this are vital to Latrobe City's community fabric, ensuring that the service and sacrifice of local veterans is never forgotten. Bringing together young and old, the ceremony reinforces the region's deep connection to Australia's military history.
The service is held on Tuesday 18 August at 11am at Moe RSL. For further details, contact Moe RSL directly or visit their Facebook page.
