Captain Evans was killed in an emergency helicopter landing Dec. 3 near the shore of Lake Qadisiyah in western Al Anbar Province, Iraq. He was one of 16 people aboard the Marine CH-46 helicopter and one of four servicemembers killed as a result of the landing. Captain Evans was the commander of the 27th Civil Engineer Squadron's Explosives Ordnance Disposal Flight. The flag will be placed in a shadow box for his wife, Perneatha, and 13-month-old son, Kermit Jr. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Heather Redman)
