Hopewell salutes fallen Air Force sergeant  05/24/09 12:01 AM

When Air Force Tech. Sgt. Phillip Andrew Myers was attending Hopewell High School, his class song was “Lean on Me.“ “I believe this is what Phillip always said,“ classmate Alton Jamison said yesterday in the school’s auditorium. “You can lean on me.“ More than 180 people—family and strangers, uniformed and not—gathered in the school to remember Myers, an explosive ordnance disposal technician killed April 4 near Helmand province, Afghanistan. He was 30.
