Minister Gee expressed his gratitude for the grant program, emphasising its importance.
"The Saluting Their Service grants program ensures Australia's wartime history is preserved and the sacrifice of those who have served during wars, conflicts and peace operations is remembered," he said.
"It's clear from the number and calibre of applications that our communities continue to look for new and improved ways to commemorate the service of our veterans, with many exploring new technologies and reaching new audiences."
Senator for NSW Jim Molan said the commemorative projects from Berry RSL Sub-Branch and Lake Conjola Bowling and Recreation Club would continue the tradition of remembrance, and he looks forward to seeing the finished work.
"I am extraordinarily proud of the history of service in Gilmore and this project is a wonderful way for us to commemorate and reflect on the sacrifice of all those who have served from our communities," Senator Molan said.
