Military Matters: Honoring Sgt. Richard Williams
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA/KECY) - For this week's military matters we honor a Sargeant whose job is not for the faint of heart.
Sergeant Richard Williams an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician with the Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron (H&HS) aboard MCAS Yuma.
