This memorial was sponsored and spearheaded by Communities in Bloom in partnership with the Eagle Valley Arts Council, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 99, District of Sicamous and local businesses. The painting, along with the Lest We Forget Painting, was purchased for the front of the Legion building in 2017 and was chosen by a Legion member. Updates to the trim and paint of the building and new lighting were also added the same year, with the work being done by donations and the help of volunteers.
