    Australian Diggers Stories From The Vietnam War
    Nov 2 2023
    The National Vietnam Veterans Museum is a non-profit organisation that was set up to remember and recognise Australian diggers who returned from Vietnam. The museum is not focused on the war aspect but more on the everyday stories of diggers and the challenges during their time in Vietnam and after their return. The museum houses many artefacts such as medals, letters and photos donated by veterans, but it also has a unique collection of military equipment such as helicopters, trucks and jeeps. There are displays that tell you about life on base camp, daily activities and what it was like when they were at war.

  • Honouring Australian Diggers

    Honouring Australian Diggers
    Oct 29 2023
    It's not easy for Vietnam veterans to find support, or even to talk about their experiences. It's even harder when they come home and realize that their friends and family don't understand what they've been through. That's why John Methven, a retired Australian Army officer and Vietnam veteran, established the National Vietnam Veterans Museum in Victoria, Australia. The museum is dedicated to helping veterans find their own stories, as well as providing them with resources to deal with any issues they might be facing after coming home from war.
