Every year on the first Saturday of May, the EOD Memorial Ceremony takes place at Eglin Air Force Base to commemorate fallen EOD technicians. The 50th ceremony recognized and preserved the legacy of the service and sacrifice of our fallen Warfighters and their families. This year’s speaker was United States Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David L. Goldfein. (U.S. Air Force video by James Truitt)
