Vietnam Veterans' memorial service at Ettalong

Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Day will be commemorated at the Ettalong waterfront at 11am on Sunday, August 17.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Following the commemoration, Sub-Branch members will retire to Ettalong Diggers for a luncheon and concert featuring music of The Beatles.

Both are available to club members and the public, who may join veterans to revisit the music of 60 years ago.

The Ettalong office of the Vietnam Veterans Peacekeepers and Peacemakers Association of Australia has a stock of 50-year medallions as an "Acknowledgement of Service".

Veterans not posessing a medallion may collect one from the office.
