Vietnam Veterans' Day - Long Tan Day 2026
Also known as Long Tan Day, Vietnam Veterans' Day falls on 18 August each year.
The Vietnam War was Australia's longest military engagement of the 20th century.
Almost 60,000 Australians fought in the war and more than 500 lost their lives. Originally known as Long Tan Day, Vietnam Veterans Day is commemorated on 18 August every year.
This year marks the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, where 108 brave young men from D Company 6RAR resisted an attack of 1,500-2,500 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops.
It would become one of the most extraordinary chapters in Australia's military history.
