I was saddened to hear the loss of this great American hero. I never had the honor to serve alongside Clarke, but I did get to meet and hang out with him while I served at EODMU ELEVEN Det Whidbey Island back in early 90’s. I was totally surprised to learn that it was Clarke in the old EOD recruiting video “Bomb Squad USN” (https://youtu.be/xtczkXtxPlk). He was the guy in the video responsible for carrying and placing the “Universal Safe’ing Device” on the mine. I remember asking Clarke about this unique device and he told me it was just a prop they made for the video. It was nothing more than a wooden box with a couple handles, gauges and switches. LOL. As another great and unforgettable member of our EOD community passes into history, I wish the George family all the comfort that prayers can provide and all the respect that Clarke’s life and valor deserve. Hooyah Clarke! Hooyah!
