Remember the Fallen Warriors

[RescueKujo 130]

This weekend, at the schoolhouse at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, the United States Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community will gather for it's annual Ball and Memorial. It is a time to renew friendships and to remember our fallen warriors, whether it be recent or in the distant past. The Technicians names being added to the wall this year are listed below, 18 heroes who gave their lives while protecting their fellow teammates and the units they were assigned to.

Unfortunately I will not be attending this year, but want to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The EOD motto is "Initial Success or Total Failure", but to those of us who earned the Crab at the school we declare, "We Remember"…

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remember'd;

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile

King Henry V-William Shakespeare

May They Rest In Peace and have God watch over their families.
