Roadside IED Kills Air Force EOD Airman

Afghanistan Staff Sgt. Phillip Myers, a 30-year old EOD Airman from the 48th Civil Engineering Squadron EOD Flight was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan's Helmand province. His wife, a son and a daughter, his parents, and his brother survive the 10-year Air Force veteran. Philip was a dedicated Air Force EOD Airman who received numerous awards in his career including being recognized as the Air Force Civil Engineering Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year award last year. At a memorial ceremony held for the fallen hero at RAF Lakenheath, England, he was posthumously promoted to Technical Sergeant. Phillip will surely be missed by friends, family and the entire EOD community.
