Observed annually on August 18, Vietnam Veterans Day, previously known as Long Tan Day, marks the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, during which 18 Australian men were killed.
One of those men was Private Max Wales, of the sixth Battalion Royal Australian Regiment, who was killed in action at the Battle of Long Tan on August 18, 1966, aged 22.

"[The day] is significant to Moree people because whilst there were a number of young Moree men, both in National Service and those who served in Vietnam, Max Wales was the only one who was actually killed [at Long Tan]," Moree RSL sub-branch senior vice president Roger Butler said.
"It's appropriate that we remember him in particular, but also honour all Vietnam veterans because they all suffered post-traumatic stress disorder from that war which was exacerbated by the way they were treated when the returned home. They were treated disgracefully because of the politics of the Vietnam War."
A second Moree man, Sergeant Ronald Carroll of 3RAR, was also killed in action in Vietnam. He died on August 4, 1968, aged 32.
More than 60 people, mostly Vietnam veterans and RSL members, attended the Moree service, held at Max Wales Memorial Park on Sunday.
Vietnam veteran John Williams gave a short address during the service, and wreaths were laid while Moree Caledonian Pipes and Drums pipers played Lament.
The service also commemorated Victory in the Pacific (VP) Day, which falls on August 15 and marks the surrender of Japan during World War II in 1945.
