Dear NATEODA Family,
As we gather this Thanksgiving, we pause to reflect on the many blessings that unite our EOD community—our shared history, steadfast service, and unbreakable bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood.
Whether you are deployed, retired, training the next generation, or standing by your family’s side, know that you are part of something greater than yourself—a family bound by courage, sacrifice, and purpose.
We give thanks for those who paved the way, for those who continue to serve, and for the families who carry the weight of that service with strength and grace. We especially remember our fallen teammates whose legacy inspires us every day.
May this season bring you peace, comfort, and the warmth of connection—wherever you are.
With deepest gratitude and respect,
Woodward L. “Woody” Eastwood
