SUMMARY:Vietnam Veterans Day - Postponed
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 55th Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. The battle saw the action of 108 ANZACS against a Viet Cong (North Vietnamese) force estimated between 1\,500 and 2\,500. The Battle was one of the heaviest conflicts of the Vietnam War as well as one of few battles\, in the history books\, to be won against such odds. \nWhether or not you support the wars\, any wars\, it is undeniable that we owe these service men and women\, of all conflicts\, a debt of gratitude. The commemorative service is a time for reflection and appreciation of the sacrifices made. \nThe official address will be given by President of the National Servicemen’s Association\, Patrick Galwey. \nAbout National Service Men:\nWith the outbreak of Confrontation with Indonesia between 1962 and 1966 and the Vietnam War\, recruiting again was insufficient and the Government introduced the National Service Act 1964. Men aged 20 were selected by a birthday ballot for the Army. Between 30 June 1965 and 7 December 1972\, a total of 63\,735 were called up for two years fulltime service integrated into regular Army units. From 1965 to 1972\, over 15\,300 national servicemen served in the Vietnam War\, with 200 killed and 1\,279 wounded. Despite the compulsion\, National Servicemen did their training\, active and reserve duties well and honourably and most regarded it as a rewarding part of their lives. \nWHEN: 5:00pm on Wednesday\, 18 August 2021\nWHERE: Cairns Cenotaph\, Esplanade\, Cairns \nWREATH-LAYING: Members of the public who wish to lay a wreath are required to register with the Cairns Sub Branch by close of business Monday 16 August. Any members who are not registered and wish to lay a wreath will have the opportunity to do so at the conclusion of the service. \nMembers of the public who are laying a wreath are to supply their own and it is their responsibility to carry it with them. There are no facilities or arrangements for storage or transport of personal wreaths at the service \nDETAILS: \n\nThe service will be conducted outdoors with seating and temporary shelter provided.\nAttendees should ensure they appropriately equipped with hats\, water bottles and sunscreen.\nLimited medical support is provided at the commemoration. Attendees that have medical conditions should come prepared.\nSeating at the commemorative service is not allocated or reserved and is available on a first-come\, first-served basis.

SUMMARY:VIETNAM VETERANS' DAY
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War began in 1962 with the arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) in South Vietnam. Almost 60\,000 Australians\, including Army\, Navy and Air Force personnel\, served in Vietnam; 521 died as a result of the war and over 3\,000 were wounded. \nThis year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Binh Ba. On the morning of 6 June 1969\, an Australian tank and armored recovery vehicle were approaching Binh Ba\, less than 10km from the Australian Task Force Base at Nui Dat\, when the tank was struck by a rocket propelled grande. This provocative shot heralded a battle that raged for two days\, left much of Binh Ba in ruins and resulted in the Australian Task Force winning one of its most comprehensive victories of the Vietnam War. \nWHEN: 1100hrs on Sunday\, 18 August 2019\nWHERE: Cairns Cenotaph\, Esplanade\, Cairns \nWREATH-LAYING: Members of the public who wish to lay a wreath are required to register with the Cairns Sub Branch by close of business Thursday 15 August.
