On the 18th August each year, we commemorate Vietnam Veterans' Day, the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966.
By the time the Vietnam War ended, almost 60,000 Australians served during a decade of conflict between 1962 and 1972. About 3,000 Australians were wounded during the war, and 524 died during their service in Vietnam or as a result of that service.
To all our Vietnam Veterans - thank you for your service.

Currently we have a wonderful and whimsical assortment of artworks that were inspired by Pablo Picasso's works featuring traditional African masks and sculptures.
These fabulous pieces have been created by a talented group of Veterans & Emergency Services personnel as part of the Military & Emergency Services Health Australia's (MESHA) art program.

Today marks the 109th anniversary of the Battle of Romani.

The Battle of Romani was fought near the Egyptian town of Romani, on the Sinai Peninsula. The Ottoman and German forces aimed to cut off the vital Suez Canal supply route. The ANZAC Mounted Division, initially outnumbered, held their ground with the support of British reinforcements, eventually forcing the enemy to retreat. The battle is remembered for the Australians' bravery and resilience, particularly the Light Horse regiments, who played a crucial role in the Allied victory.
Our Romani aged care home in Murray Bridge is named in honour of those who served at Romani, including the horses.

On 27 July each year, we commemorate Korean Veterans' Day. This is the anniversary of the day in 1953 when an armistice was signed to end the fighting in Korea. This day is a time to remember the almost 18,000 Australians who served in the war, including some 340 who lost their lives.
