About 60,000 Australians served in Vietnam from 1962 to 1972 where 3000 were wounded and 521 tragically lost their lives.
Vietnam Veterans' Day on August 18 has been a day to commemorate the Battle of Long Tan where Australian troops were embroiled in fierce combat near the village in 1966.
"They could think about Vietnam and the hundreds of lives that were lost, said Mittagong RSL Sub-Branch President Stephen Spence OAM.
"They could visit Settlers Park and lay a wreath or a posy of flowers, and think about the names engraved on the plaques."
Mr Spence also suggested that Highlanders could visit the Mittagong and District War Memorial Clock Tower if they could.
The Military Vehicle for Charity Inc (Military Vehicle) was supposed to host a function to with the support of the Southern Highlands Vietnam Veterans Association in commemoration of the day.

Veterans, ex-service men and women, past and present ADF members, and their loved ones were invited to the gathering.
"We wanted to do something to say thank you for their service," said Military Vehicle founder Vinh Tran.
Mr Tran established the charity to raise funds and awareness for those who suffered the consequences of the war.
The not-for profit organisation also has former military vehicles at the heart of its mission to commemorate those forgotten.
"We already organised the Jeep and a Bell 47 helicopter for the event," Mr Tran added.
Mr Tran said the event has been postponed and a date would be announced after lockdown.
Southern Highlands Vietnam Veterans Association President Phillip Moscatt said the group has postponed their service to later in the year.
