Salute in Motion
One Workout. 345 Reasons.August 1 to December 31
Register now!
Introducing Salute in Motion: a powerful and heartfelt new fundraising workout in honor of the 345 EOD Technicians whose names are engraved on the EOD Memorial Wall. Each one of these Warriors made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, and through this event, we carry their memory forward with purpose and pride.
This year, Salute in Motion will take the place of our annual EOD Memorial Workout. While the name and format may be new, the heart of this tradition remains stronger than ever. We are still moving in remembrance, still honoring the fallen, and still standing with their families.
From August through December, we invite you to join the EOD Community in a workout that is both a tribute and a mission. Whether you take on the challenge alone, gather your crew, or organize a team event, every movement you make and every dollar you raise will support the legacies of our fallen heroes.
This is more than fitness. It is remembrance. It is connection. It is 345 reasons to keep going.
Sign up. Move with meaning. Honor the fallen. Support the living.

Removing the Stigma - Hawaii
2025-12-04 09:30 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Tropics Recreation Center, 1470 Foote Ave, Schofield Barracks, HI, 96857, United States
RSVP Here: https://forms.gle/AB8hWiagrX2eSfhJ8
Behind every controlled detonation, every mission, and every moment of calculated risk, EOD Technicians carry invisible burdens that often go unseen. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the most common and misunderstood injuries in the EOD community, yet stigma still keeps many warriors from seeking the care they deserve.
Join us for a powerful panel discussion that sheds light on both the physical and psychological impacts of TBI. Expert speakers will share critical strategies for early intervention and recovery, while a personal testimonial will provide an authentic, first hand perspective from within the EOD ranks.

Together, we can break down barriers, remove the stigma, and ensure our EOD Techs receive the support they have earned through their service and sacrifice.
