Where is the EOD Memorial located, and what happens there annually?

• A. NAVSCOLEOD at Eglin AFB, FL, where names of EOD technicians killed in duty are added annually.
• B. Naval Station Norfolk, VA, where EOD badges are awarded each year.
• C. Pentagon Memorial, Arlington, VA, where EOD history is commemorated annually.
• D. Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, WA, where EOD ceremonies are held annually.

Answer: (A)

The EOD Memorial sits at NAVSCOLEOD, the Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal, on Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Each year, during the EOD Memorial ceremony, the names of EOD technicians who were killed in the line of duty are added to the Memorial Wall in their honor. It isn’t located at Norfolk, the Pentagon, or Whidbey Island, which are not where the Memorial Wall resides.
