Long Tan Day
August 18, 2025-August 18, 2025 -
Vietnam, Vietnam
Long Tan Day is a historic day that honors those who fought and fell at the Battle of Long Tan on August 18 and has nothing to do with soaking up the sun. In 1966, the People’s Army of Vietnam and some members of the 1st Australian Task Force were pinned down and outnumbered by Viet Cong insurgents in a rubber plantation on the outskirts of Long Tan. Both Vietnam and Australia celebrate Long Tan Day on the same day, honoring the bravery and steadfast commitment of the soldiers who held their ground despite the odds.
