This Remembrance day, RSL Queensland is teaming up with Outdoor Media Association (OMA) for digital Out of Home displays at 11am.
For one minute, Queenslanders will be prompted by seven thousand large displays showing the RSL’s message to remember veterans who served and lost their lives in wars and conflicts.
Adding his support to the remembrance campaign is an Aussie war veteran and three-time Paralympic gold winner Curtis McGrath OAM.
Curtis, who lost both legs serving in Afghanistan, is working with RSL Queensland to highlight veterans who returned home injured or ill.
RSL Queensland State President Tony Ferris expressed his gratefulness saying: “With the generous support of OMA and the wide reach that its digital advertising screens enable, we can ensure that no matter where people are and what they’re doing at 11am on 11 November, they will Remember to Remember.”
“More than a century has passed since the guns fell silent on the Western Front, however, the legacy of these Diggers has carried down the past century.
“It continues to be embodied in those men and women who have served and sacrificed in conflicts right up until the present day.”
OMA CEO, Charmaine Moldrich, said: “We are proud to support this campaign by spreading awareness for Remembrance Day to commemorate and honour war veterans and soldiers who sacrificed so much so that we can continue to live free lives.”
“This one-minute national takeover is possible thanks to our members’ wide network of digital signs which are perfectly positioned to reach Australians in this moment in time as they go about their daily lives.”
