Their Story
SPC Barcus, Collier Edwin, 21 years old, grew up in MCHENRY, IL and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with HHC, 1ST BATTALION, 26TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, (1ST ID), APO AE 09033 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on July 8, 2004 in SAMARRA, 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.
