What You Do Not See...

We read of suicide missions and car bombs... especially in Iraq. Where I live we hear them occasionally but Army dentists don't deal with IEDs...


But there are many brave folks who do... troops on the ground doing missions outside the wire, uparmored vehicle operators and mechanics, electronic countermeasure experts, EOD personnel, military firefighters, explosive forensic and biometric staff are just a few...


Task Force Troy is raising funds and awareness to support the EOD Memorial Foundation for fallen EOD service members and their families... the unseen and unaddressed addendum to Hollywood's myopic The Hurt Locker...


Note the shape and material of this Coalition Challenge Coin? It's an EFP... a deadly armor-penentrating device so often used in IEDs...


Coalition bombing - no injuries...
