  • Plaque– This was the laser engraved granite plaque that we designed to mark the unfortunate passing of Sgt Miok.  

It was originally displayed at the Kandahar Cenotaph from the date of his passing - and was repatriated to Canada in 2014.  

Today, it can be seen at the Afghanistan War Memorial located at National Defence Headquarters in Kanata, On.

I have provided a few images I have in memory of my friend and coworker George who I always think of this time of year. I am not sure if his family and friends ever saw these ones as I took them on a couple of years after we lost him.
