Their Story
Serving as CPL Anaya, Michael Justin, from CRESTVIEW, FL, at age 23, with COMPANY A, 2D BATTALION, 27TH INFANTRY, 3 BCT, SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, HI, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On April 12, 2009, the ARMY lost CPL Anaya, Michael Justin in MOSUL, IRAQ. He was 23. The ARMY recorded the cause as HOSTILE.
In the later years of OIF, the surge had reduced violence significantly. But Americans continued to die ? IEDs, snipers, crashes ? as the mission shifted toward transition and withdrawal.
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.
