Their Story
Ahlquist, Clinton Wayne of CREEDE, CO, 23 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with F CO, 2D BN, 4TH MAR, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA at the rank of SGT ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
The date recorded for his death: February 20, 2007. Location: AR RAMADI, IRAQ. Cause: HOSTILE.
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 MARINE CORPS 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.
