Over the next two weeks we remember the Vietnam War (1962 - 1975) and the 521 young Aussies who died defending our nation and the 60,000 soldiers, men and women, who served Australia in that war.
The motto of the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia is: "Honour the dead but fight like hell for the living."
