The date marks the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966, one of the fiercest battles fought by Australian troops during the war.
Warragul RSL will conduct a service, including wreath laying, at the town's cenotaph at the junction of Smith and Victoria Sts starting at 11am.
The service is expected run for about 30 minutes, after which attendees are invited to the RSL clubrooms in Albert St for finger food and refreshments.

Families are encouraged to attend and people are also invited to lay wreaths.
Some 60,000 Australian soldiers, sailors and air force personnel served in Vietnam between 1962 and 1975, with about 3000 wounded in addition to those that lost their lives.
About half of those that returned have since died.
