Phil worked for me when he volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the Joint Contracting Command. He was a great officer, a great friend and an incredible husband/father. He was just a couple of days away from returning from his deployment. I received an email from him on 5 April requesting to stay a bit longer so he could finish the job started. I had not yet responded to his email when I was notified by our Commanding Office on Easter morning that Phil had been killed. Miss you Phil!

I attended the University of Idaho with Phil and he was my platoon commander in ROTC. He was an awesome individual and he will be dearly missed. I heard of his death from my wife while preparing for my own deployment and quite honestly it brought tears to my eyes. It really brings home the dangers our forces face over there.
