Their Story
The NAVY, NMCB FOURTEEN, JACKSONVILLE, FL, sent Anderson, Michael Charles of OSHKOSH, WI, then 36, ? PO2 ? to Iraq.
Killed on May 2, 2004 in AR RAMADI, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Anderson, Michael Charles was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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 NAVY 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.
