Geocache Description:

My family and I are new to geocaching and we would like to give back to this wonderful sport! This cache is the third of its kind in a series I like to call "We Remember". Please take the time to explore the cache and appreciate its contents. This should be a quick park and grab cache with available parking very close to the cache. We hope you enjoy and never forget “We Remember”.
 

We Remember is dedicated to the fallen Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technicians I have had the honor to serve with. I ask that you take a moment to read about these remarkable Americans and remember the ultimate sacrifice they made. MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP S.D. BUTLER, OKINAWA, Japan - Staff Sgt. John H. Roy III, 32, of Muscogee, GA. died in an explosion at Demolition Range 3 in the Central Training Area March 24 at 11:15 a.m. 
 
One other Marine was seriously injured and one Sailor was injured in the same explosion that killed Roy. The injured service members are being treated at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Okinawa. The three were part of an explosive ordnance disposal team preparing a World War II-era shell for destruction when the accident occurred. 
 
"Explosive ordnance teams risk their lives on a daily basis to ensure the safety of the Okinawa people," said Lt. Col. Douglas Powell, Director of the Consolidated Public Affairs Office at Marine Corps Base Camp Butler. "The U.S. military and the Okinawan people recognize and sincerely appreciates sacrifice of the U.S. and Japanese EOD experts."
