TOMORROW will mark 50 years since the historic Battle of Long Tan in Vietnam.
A special commemorative service will be held at the Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial on ANZAC Parade in Canberra at 10.00am.
The service will feature a flyover of aircraft from the Vietnam era including a:
- US Air Force B-52 bomber
