FROM yodelling, to country music to a bit of rock'n'roll, the Vietnams Veterans' Day had it all.

The music tribute consisted of some of the favourite entertainers in town.

Vincent Galea, who also goes by the name DJ Vince, organised the fundraiser for his fellow Veterans.

"I felt saddened that Warwick doesn't do anything for the veterans, entertainment wise," he said.

"For a $2 entry, it doesn't get better than this."

Mr Galea served Australia in the Vietnam War and said it was a commemoration close to his heart.

"We're very happy with the turnout but hopefully we'll have even more next year," Mr Galea said.

"Next year, we will see more dancing."

Bands from Brisbane have already been in contact with Mr Galea to book in gigs for the next anniversary.

Mayor Peter Blundell made a special appearance and serenaded the crowd with a few of his favourites.

"It's a good cause, so I've got to get in give everyone a hand," Cr Blundell said.

"DJ Vince really needs to be congratulated.

"It's great to see people donating their time to the veterans and it's wonderful to see everyone relax and have a few drinks among mates.

"It's absolutely appalling some of the things they had to do.

"They were really just doing what their country required of them."

Mr Galea specifically thanked the Salvation Army for their hard work and support towards the veteran community.

"I remember when I was 19 and we were walking through the jungle and we saw a Land-Rover and two army guys," he said.

"As we got closer and we walked to this clearing and next to the Land-Rover were these two Salvation Army guys.

"They gave us some orange juice and some lemon juice, and how they got there, I don't know.

"They had no weapons, only lemon juice, orange juice and two biscuits each.

"They then hopped in their Land-Rovers and drove away."

Steve Spencer from the Salvation Army addressed the crowd of veterans with a moving speech.

Yesterday marked the 49th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.

Originally it was a day to commemorate the Battle in 1966, but it has since been adopted by all veterans.
