$507,000 TO HONOUR VETERANS
In the lead up to Anzac Day more than 170 organisations will receive a
financial boost with the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Alan Griffin,
approving $507,619 in funding for projects that honour Australia’s
wartime heritage.
Mr Griffin said: “As we prepare to commemorate Anzac Day, I am pleased
to announce funding for a range of projects including wartime
exhibitions, restoring and upgrading memorials and cenotaphs and
publishing previously untold unit histories.
“In particular, this funding will help regional and rural communities
across Australia maintain their memorials, as those memorials play a
central role in honouring locals who have served the nation.”
“Commemorative activities in local communities play an important role
in encouraging Australians – especially younger Australians – to learn
about our wartime experiences and provide an opportunity for veterans
to share their stories.”
“Australia has a proud service history that has been part of the lives
of so many Australian families. The Government remains committed to
honouring those who have served and continue to serve, and ensuring
their legacy is remembered for generations to come.”
The funding is part of the Government’s Saluting Their Service grant
program to help communities across the nation honour and commemorate
Australia’s wartime history.
Mr Griffin encouraged local community and ex-service organisations
interested in applying for funding to visit www.dva.gov.au or contact
their nearest DVA office on 133 254 (for metropolitan callers) or 1800
555 254 (for non-metropolitan callers).

Northern Territory is attached.
