MEMBERS of the Bulahdelah RSL Sub Branch acknowledged Vietnam Veterans Day with a Commemoration Service at the Cenotaph in Meade Street last week. The service was led by RSL President Peter Millen who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War and marked the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. The commemoration included the sounding of the Last Post and one minute silence allowing those gathered to remember the men and women who fought in Vietnam as well as those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
