Vietnam Veterans’ Day Commemorative Service 🇦🇺
Today, 18 August 2026, the Committee and members of the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch, along with Acting CEO Bradley Bishop and Director Peter Hazeldine, who is also a Sub Branch member, attended the Vietnam Veterans’ Day Commemorative Service hosted by the Engadine RSL Sub Branch.
It was a memorable and respectful service, honouring all those who served in Vietnam, those who fought, and those who never returned home.
Following the service, members and guests gathered at Club Engadine for refreshments and a private function.
During the function, Cronulla RSL Sub Branch President Cory Rinaldi and Engadine RSL Sub Branch President Brad Copelin were both honoured to receive a Quilt of Valour, presented by Steven Cosgrove.
Over the past few years, Cory and Brad have worked hand in hand to bring our two Sub Branches closer together, building a strong unit and support network not only for our members, but for the wider community.
It was especially fitting that this presentation took place on Vietnam Veterans’ Day, as the 2025 Vietnam Veterans’ Day commemorations held in Cronulla marked the first time our two Sub Branches came together to commemorate side by side.
A day to remember for so many reasons.
On behalf of the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch, we sincerely thank the Engadine RSL Sub Branch and Club Engadine for their wonderful hospitality and for allowing us to come together to commemorate, remember and honour our Vietnam veterans.
Lest We Forget. 🇦🇺
