The casket of Air Force Staff Sgt. Phillip Myers, of Hopewell, Va., who was killed in Afghanistan on April 4 was lowered to the tarmac on Sunday, April 5, 2009 in Dover Air Force Base, Del. After receiving permission from the family, Myers was the first casualty to be observed arriving at Dover since the ban on media news coverage of returning war dead was put in place - 18 years ago.
My heartfelt gratitude and condolences go out to the family of Air Force Staff Sgt. Phillip Myers; and to all those who serve and to all those who have lost loved ones who served.
It is my sincere hope that now we can see the horrific casualties of war, we will perhaps do more to prevent them and bring the wars to a much needed end.
