00:01They say a picture is worth a thousand words but for these students a postcard says
00:08Thank you for your service and your sacrifices for our safety.
00:12Thank you for protecting our country. I'm very thankful for all you have done giving young Australians an opportunity.
00:20Adding the finishing touches and a pop of colour to a very special message.
00:25Postcards are on as an initiative by RSL Queensland to obviously get engagement from the younger generation where they get
00:33an opportunity to show remembrance.
00:36More than 190 schools across the state will take part.
00:40I've got a special visitor here today, it is Mr Hardican.
00:43And also receive a special visit from a veteran.
00:46A lot of the older generation have either passed away or they don't have that mateship and community that they
00:51once did.
00:51So in this activity the students are able to learn, they're able to connect and they're able to show gratitude
00:58to the servicemen before us and it's across generations.
01:01These postcards of honour are more than just a lesson in the classroom.
01:04They're also helping children explore their own personal connections.
01:08More recent conflicts have also been remembered.
01:11Dad was in the army and he went to Afghanistan to fight because of 9-11.
01:20It's special to me because I get to commemorate all the people who fought for our country.
01:26To me Anzac Day is a very important day of the year that I think we should all like take
01:31a minute to commemorate.
01:32Signed, sealed and ready to be delivered.
