Their Story

Serving as LCPL Anderson, Nicholas Hale, from LAS VEGAS, NV, at age 19, with WPNS CO, 1ST BN, 4TH MAR, (11TH MEU, RCT-1), 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, he went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.

He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on November 12, 2004 in MAHMUDIYAH, IRAQ, from 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 members of WPNS CO, 1ST BN, 4TH MAR, (11TH MEU, RCT-1), 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA who served alongside him carry his memory. His record in DCAS documents his service and sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
