Westminster Patch Kym Byrnes: A Tribute to Afc Matthew Seidler
A Tribute to Airman 1st Class Matthew Seidler
Seidler, a 2006 graduate of Westminster High School, was
killed in action in Afghanistan on Jan. 5.
USAF Airman 1st Class Matthew R. Seidler, 24, from
Westminster, was one of three Air Force servicemen killed in action on Jan. 5
when their vehicle struck an insurgent bomb in Shir Ghazi, Helmand, according
to the Air Force.
Seidler was serving with the 21st Civil Engineer Squadron
out of Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado, according to Fallen
Soldiers Afghanistan.
The Denver Post reported
that Seidler was the first airman in the 21st Space Wing to
die in Iraq or Afghanistan. He was on his first overseas deployment.
"This is a tragic day for Team Pete, the 21st Space
Wing, the 21st Civil Engineer Squadron and especially for Matt's family,"
said Col. Chris Crawford, 21st Space Wing commander in a statement. "We
will come together to help Matt's family and friends through their grief."
Lt. Col. Mark Donnithorne, 21st Civil Engineer Squadron
commander, said Seidler's fellow soldiers will never forget his sacrifice and
dedication to his "critical, yet dangerous, mission."
According to an article
in the Baltimore Sun, Seidler graduated from Westminster Senior High School
in 2006…http://westminster.patch.com/articles/a-tribute-to-airman-1st-class-matthew-seidler

24-year-old USAF Airman 1st Class Matthew R. Seidler, from
Westminster, Maryland was one of three Air Force servicemen killed in action on
5th January 2012 when their vehicle struck an insurgent bomb in Shir Ghazi,

Westminster, Md. - The Pentagon announced earlier today that a Westminster
airman was one of three servicemembers who died supporting Operation Enduring
Freedom on Jan. 5 in Shir ghazi, Helmand province, Afghanistan.
Airman 1st Class Matthew R. Seidler,
24, of Westminster, Md had been assigned to the 21st Civil Engineer Squadron,
Peterson Air Force Base, Colo.
According to the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette, “The Erie Times News reported that Airman Bell joined the
U.S. Air Force in 2006 and served a tour of duty in Iraq. As an
explosive-ordnance disposal technician, his main job was to clear routes with
two other servicemen in an armored vehicle, his father Rick Bell of Harborcreek
told the newspaper.
“Airman Bell last visited his dad over the summer, before
his deployment to Afghanistan, and said he was still excited about his
dangerous job, which gained notoriety with the Academy Award-winning movie ‘The
Hurt Locker,’ which won the Academy Award for best picture in 2009.”
The website, Fallen Heroes Afghanistan - http://oefkia.blogspot.com - reports,
“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.”

Fallen heroes Afghanistan reports,
“Sgt. Schwartz was a bomb-disposal technician serving with the 90th Civil
Engineer Squadron, FE Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming. His family told local
news that this was his sixth combat mission and that he had also served in
Iraq. He had served in the US Air Force for 12 years. Sgt. Schwartz leaves his
wife, Jenny, and three daughters.” (Photo courtesy: http://oefkia.blogspot.com)
Seidler was one of eight of NATO’s US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)
soldiers who have died in a series of recent attacks in southern and eastern Afghanistan,
say military officials.
In accordance with ISAF
policy, no further details were released. According to iCasualties.org, at
least 566 NATO troops were killed in Afghanistan in 2011; including 418 from
the US and 46 from the United Kingdom.
An Afghanistan International Security Assistance Force casualty
report from Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday, January 5, said, “Three
International Security Assistance Force service members died following an
improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan today.
“It is ISAF policy to defer casualty identification
procedures to the relevant national authorities…”
In related news, in an “ISAF
Joint Command morning operational update - January 6, 2012… South: In
Nahr-e Saraj district, Helmand province, a coalition security force discovered
a cache of improvised explosive device materials during a routine patrol
yesterday. The security force confiscated 50 various IED components from the
scene to be destroyed at a later date.
An Afghan and coalition security force captured a Taliban leader during an
operation in Nahr-e Saraj district, Helmand province, today. The leader
constructed roadside bombs and trained insurgent fighters for attacks against
coalition forces. Two additional suspected insurgents were detained during the
operation.
“East: In Sabari district, Khost province, an Afghan and
coalition security force captured a Haqqani leader during an operation today.
The leader procured weapons for insurgent fighters and conducted roadside bomb
attacks. The security force seized weapons, bomb making materials and detained
multiple insurgents during the operation.”
The news that a Westminster area service member had been
killed in Afghanistan had started circulating on Friday. However it is usually
best to wait to report upon such information until the Pentagon releases the
information – after the Department of Defense has notified all family members
and appropriate personnel…
Approximately 140,000 NATO military personnel – including
about 100,000 from the United States - are currently fighting in the ten-year
war against the Taliban-led insurgency against the NATO-backed government of
President Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan.
No further details on the deaths of, or funeral arrangements
for Seidler, Bell or Schwartz are available at the moment.

8 Nato troops, 6 children killed in Afghan blasts - Emirates 24/7
8 Nato troops, 6 children killed in Afghan blasts - Emirates 24/7: "8 Nato troops, 6 children killed in Afghan blasts
By AFP
Published Friday, January 06, 2012
Eight Nato soldiers have been killed in a series of bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan, the military said Friday.
Three died on Thursday, another lost his life in a blast on Friday and four more were killed in second attack later the same day.
Nato's US-led International Security Assistance Force did not release the nationalities of the soldiers, in keeping with policy.
Details would be released by the soldiers' home countries, a spokesman said.
More than 560 foreign troops were killed last year in Afghanistan, where some 130,000 US-led troops are fighting an insurgency by hardline Taliban Islamists against the Western-backed government of President Hamid Karzai."
