23-year-old USAF Senior Airman Bryan R. Bell, from Erie, Pennsylvania, was one of three Air Force servicemen killed in action on 5th January 2012 when their vehicle struck an insurgent bomb in Shir Ghazi, Helmand.
Sr. Airman Bell, a bomb-disposal technician serving with the 2nd Civil Engineer Squadron, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, was a volunteer firefighter. He graduated from Harbor Creek High School in 2006 and joined the Air Force the same year.
He leaves behind his father, mother, wife and sister.
Also killed were: Airman 1st Class Matthew Seidler and Tech. Sgt. Matthew S. Schwartz.
Even though we never met, it was an extreme honor for me and my family to stand and pay our respect to Bryan as he was being taken to his final resting place. Thank you seems so inadequate for the sacrifice he made. GOD Bless Senior Airman Bryan Bell and his family.
