VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. - 220819-N-YR675-9720 VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Aug. 19, 2022). Suzanna Fisher, executive director at Navy Special Operations Foundation, Navy Diver Seaman Chris Pedrini, and Henry Thrift, president of Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Association, dig during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Navy Special Operations Memorial. The memorial will be located at the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group (EODGRU) 2 compound on Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, and the memorial will feature the names of fallen Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal technicians and Navy Divers. EODGRU 2 is a critical part of the Navy Expeditionary Combat Force (NECF) that clears explosive hazards to provide access to denied areas; secures the undersea domain for complete freedom of maneuver; builds and fosters relationships with a constellation of capable and trusted partners; and protects the homeland and American way of life.
