New Fort Bragg memorial honors fallen EOD soldiers

The Hall of Heroes, dedicated Thursday at the North Carolina post by members of the 192nd Explosive Ordnance Disposal Battalion and guests, honors the 45 EOD soldiers who died in the line of duty while deployed since March 2001.

Seven of those soldiers served with the 192nd, including Staff Sgt. Jonathan P. Schmidt, whose wife attended the ceremony.

"The day we fail to remember to honor our fallen, the day we forget that we serve a higher purpose than just ourselves, that is the day we lose focus on what it means to be a soldier," 192nd commander Lt. Col. Benjamin Lipari said in a statement.
