the united states marine corps and a place i recently traveled to camp pen ton in california to visit the first eod company, where the bomb text are and i had a chance to reunite with some of the guys i served with in afghanistan over a decade ago getting their take on the true meaning of service and sacrifice. let s take a look. been ten or 12 years since we were all deployed together and that was one of the hardest deployments or that time frame ever for this job. and here we are 12 years later, you guys are still wearing the badge. we adapted so quickly because we were scared. we saw the effects of ieds and how fast they proliferated. it s a problem solver. little bit of alpha because you re proud of doing your job and you do wear a badge and you do when everybody else is going backwards you re going forwards into it and that s it. very similar to the fire
