The EOD Memorial Wall at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida honors EOD technicians who gave their lives in the performance of their duties. The names on the wall date back to the formation of EOD in World War II. The basic structure consists of four cenotaphs; one for each branch of military service, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force. A bronze tablet with the names of fallen EOD warriors is inscribed and attached to each cenotaph.

Every year, on the first Saturday in May, the EOD Memorial Ceremony is held to commemorate fallen EOD technicians to recognize and preserve the legacy of the service and sacrifices of our fallen warriors and their families.
The ongoing care and maintenance of the EOD Memorial Wall is funded by private donations.

We are excited to announce the return of this program in 2022!  The goal of this program is to place EOD Flags on the stateside graves of all EOD Technicians, regardless of branch, years of service, or cause of death. This volunteer-driven program honors and remembers all who have served.

EOD Technicians have been laid to rest all across the country. Follow the link below to learn more.

The Memorial is located on Eglin Air Force Base in Florida which is secured and staffed like other military bases around the world. The gate opening hours are 4:55 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and closed on weekends and holidays. The gate is closed on Christmas and Thanksgiving days.
