Their Story
Ahearn, James Michael of CONCORD, CA, 43 years old, served in the ARMY with COMPANY B, 96TH CIVIL AFFAIRS BATTALION, 95TH CIVIL AFFAIRS BRIGADE, FORT BRAGG, NC at the rank of MAJ ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
On July 5, 2007, he died in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
The years 2005?2007 were OIF's deadliest. Sectarian violence surged after the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari shrine in Samarra. American troops were caught between militias, insurgents, and a government that barely functioned.
The ARMY classified his death as "HOSTILE" ? a category that matters to the families who must make sense of it. His name is documented in the Defense Casualty Analysis System at https://dcas.dmdc.osd.mil/dcas/app/conflictCasualties/oif.
