Australia owes a great debt to the veterans who helped secure our freedom, and in the lead up to Anzac Day Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien met with local veterans to present Certificates of Appreciation from the Australian Government.
Veterans of wars, conflicts, and peace keeping missions since 1945, spoke of their service and experiences as they received their certificates at the small event at the Tewantin Noosa RSL on Monday.
“These certificates are just one way of expressing the nation’s gratitude to those who served overseas, and those who provided logistics support in Vietnam, or served on the home front during World War II,” Mr O’Brien said.
“There are many more veterans in Wide Bay who are eligible to receive a certificate, and I encourage them to contact my office on 4121 2936 or email llew.obrien.mp@aph.gov.au to apply for a certificate of appreciation from the Australian Government, to acknowledge the nation’s gratitude for their service and sacrifice.”
