Their Story
Serving as SGT Baker, Sherwood Russell, from PLYMOUTH, PA, at age 30, with B COMPANY, 2D BATTALION, 103D ARMOR, TAMAQUA, PA 18252, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on April 26, 2004 in BAGHDAD, 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 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.
