APTOPIX Pentagon War Dead
The casket of Air Force Staff Sgt. Phillip Myers, of Hopewell, Va., who was killed Afghanistan on April 4 is carried by an honor guard on Sunday, April 5, 2009 off the plane in Dover Air Force Base, Del. After receiving permission from the family, Myers is 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.
