Vietnam Veterans Day on the 18th of August recognised the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Our club hosted the Vietnam Veterans’ Association of Australia – Greater Hobart Sub-Branch at a function in our club rooms that was attended by Her Excellency the Governor, the Honourable Barbara Baker; our member, and Independent Member for Clark, Mr. Andrew Wilkie MP; the Attorney General of Tasmania and club member, the Hon Elise Archer MP, and the Mayors of both Hobart and Glenorchy.
The staff in both the Kitchen and the Bar worked incredibly hard to make the day a great success for the Vietnam Veterans in attendance and those who came to help remember the sacrifice of all soldiers who served in that war. I watched as all our VIPs took the time to speak with Veterans and thank them for their Service, it was wonderful recognition of a job well done by those Veterans.
