It’s a time to commemorate the sacrifice that so many veterans made to help maintain Australia’s freedoms. It’s a time for reflection and remembrance and a way for all people of Australia to come together and take stock of the loved ones both now and in the past who have given their lives for our own.
ANZAC Day is a day of contemplation, be it in solitude or with a group of diggers that presents a struggle for many veterans. It can be time that triggers feelings that overwhelm or highlights the vastness of the commitment that so many men and women have made. Veteran Benefits Australia would like to take a moment to remind all veterans that have made it home safely that we are grateful for their service. Lest we forget.
We understand that ANZAC Day can be tough for many veterans and their families. If you are feeling stressed and need to talk here is a list of services that you can reach out to for support.

Lest We Forget - What does lest we forget mean Anzac Day?
It should not be forgotten:
Borrowed from a line in a well-known poem written in the 19th century, the phrase 'lest we forget' means 'it should not be forgotten'. We say or write 'Lest We Forget' in commemorations to remember always the service and sacrifice of people who have served in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

To acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the end of Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs will produce a Commemorative Medallion and Certificate of Commemoration.

The medallion and certificate will be made available to every living veteran, widows of veterans and other family members of veterans of the Vietnam War.
While Australia can never repay the debt we owe to the 60,000 who served in Vietnam, this medallion and certificate are a small but meaningful way to honour their service and to recognise the sacrifice of those who never returned home.

The obverse design will feature the Commonwealth Coat of Arms with ‘Vietnam War’ inscribed at the top and “Australia remembers’ at the bottom. The medallion reverse design will feature words of thanks at the bottom with the years 1962-73 inscribed at the top to represent the years in which Australia was involved in the Vietnam War. The medallion also features a UH-1 Iroquois “Huey” Helicopter, a depiction of HMAS Sydney (III) “Vung Tau Ferry” and an Australian solider holding an SLR.
