VIETNAM VETERANS DAY

MELBOURNE SHRINE OF REMEMBRANCE

18th AUGUST

11:00 AM

VVAA Victorian Branch Inc. has hosted a Vietnam Veterans Day Commemoration Service at the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance since 2000.

In 2026, due to ageing/health of our Vietnam Veteran cohort, together with the work/cost of hosting the event, the VVAA Victorian Branch State Executive has decided to commemorate Vietnam Veterans Day each year with an informal gathering and wreath laying at the Vietnam Tree within the grounds of the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance.

VVAA Victorian Subbranches are encouraged to continue conducting Vietnam Veterans Day commemorations in their respective areas.

THE SERVICE AT THE VIETNAM TREE/PLAQUE

11:00 AM – assemble at the Tree.
