Together with Bonnie Ferguson of the Royal Canadian Legion Tofield Branch, the Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation was invited to join family members of local fallen heroes in a presentation to the County of Strathcona Council of memorial prints on June 14 2016. 18 new prints joined 12 already prominently on display on the Wall of Remembrance located outside of the Council Chambers at the County of Strathcona Municipal Building.

This monument, a black granite maple leaf seated on concrete, is dedicated to the memory of Sergeant George Miok and Corporal Zachery McCormack. Bill Morris, who knew Georg Miok personally as his kids had gone to school with George, said the idea for a memorial was first brought forward to council in 2010, a few months after the soldiers were killed. Bill was the organizer of a local group who wanted to honour the two Sherwood Park soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan with a special memorial. It was erected on August 24, 2013, by a community partnership with Strathcona County.

On December 30, 2009, Sergeant George Miok and Corporal Zachery McCormack, two young men from Sherwood Park, lost their lives while serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Sergeant Miok and Corporal McCormack, along with two other Canadian soldiers and a Canadian journalist, were killed in this attack.
