The Wooroolin Community Committee will receive $2462 to update the honour boards at Wooroolin Memorial Hall.<\/p>\n

Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said the money would be used to record the names of local residents who served in Vietnam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The grant has come from the Federal Government’s “Saluting Their Service” program.<\/p>\n

Mr Littleproud said the funds were vital not only to celebrate the electorate\u2019s past but also to help educate future generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Saluting Their Service Grants program helps communities across our great country recognise those who have served in unique ways that are special to each community,\u201d Mr Littleproud said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrants such as these play a vital role in preserving our electorate\u2019s history and those heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice, while also helping to educate our younger generations. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“It gives me great pride to have helped secure the funding for this important initiative and I\u2019m confident this project will have a profound impact on the Wooroolin community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The “Saluting Their Service” grants program is always open for applications, with assessment of applications split into three batches across the year.<\/p>\n
