May God bless you and keep you Staff Sgt. Meyers


I has been 18 years since the media were granted access to cover the return of a fallen soldier. On Sunday night, the family of Staff Sgt Phillip Myers, Hopewell, VA approved the coverage of the arrival of his coffin at Dover Air Force Base. Staff Sgt Myers, 30 was killed by an IED in Afghanistan on April 4th. The arrival of his flag draped coffin serves as a stark reminder that men and women continue to serve and sacrifice in Afghanistan, Iraq and conflicts across the globe. God bless you Staff Sgt. Meyers…forever young, forever our hero.
