  Adam Ginett is one of sixty four soldiers who have lost their lives doing this very dangerous job for our military (At the time of Adam's Death). Not only do they disarm the bombs but they get shot at, face the IED bombs coming and going to the job they all do so very well. Thank you to this team of soldiers.
