Although Hollywood gives the impression that bomb squads are being blown up all of the time, in fact only 13 civilian bomb squad members have been killed in America since 1909.
The memorial, which cost more than $200,000, includes the words, "Here Am I, Send Me!" from Ephesians 6:8 and a bronze statue of a civilian in a protective suit. The memorial is positioned so that the bomb disposal guy is facing the School entrance, a reminder to students of the dangers of their profession. [RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 06/12/2007]
