Their Story
A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? C COMPANY, 1ST BATTALION, 21ST INFANTRY REGIMENT, SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, HI 96857 ? serving as SPC, Amos, John Douglas Ii was 20 and came from VALPARAISO, IN.
The date recorded for his death: April 4, 2004. Location: BALAD, IRAQ. Cause: HOSTILE.
In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.
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.
