 Today's ceremony is where we as a service, we as a joint community, we as EOD technicians honor those that have fallen over the last year in combat operations. Not only do we honor those that have fallen this year, but we also honor those that have fallen in conflicts before ours. The conflict starting back to World War II, going through Korea, going into Vietnam, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Herzegovina, current conflict in Afghanistan as well as the most recently completed conflict in Iraq. We honor them. We are here to remember their service, remember the sacrifice of the individual, and acknowledge the sacrifice of their families.
