Each year we receive applications for an incredible range of projects and initiatives
that help keep the spirit of Anzac Day alive in our communities.
From memorials and headstones to virtual tributes, South Australians remain

ensure the sacrifices and contributions made by our servicemen and women will be
felt, seen and remembered by future generations.
