Tech. Sergeant Christopher "Matt" Slaydon, 56th Civil Engineer Squadron explosive ordinance disposal technician, laughs with friends and family at Luke Air Force Base Aug. 27, 2009 before heading out to his final detonation as an active-duty Airman. Sergeant Slaydon lost an arm and was blinded when an IED detonated inches from him in October 2007. Since that time, Sergeant Slaydon and his wife have used Air Force Aid Society funds to maintain ownership of their vehicles and home, ensuring Sergeant Slaydon had a familiar place to recover.
