Their Story
The MARINE CORPS, 2D BN, 7TH MAR, 1ST MAR DIV, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA, sent Barr, Aric Julius of PITTSBURGH, PA, then 22, ? LCPL ? to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on April 3, 2004 in AL ANBAR PROVINCE, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
The MARINE CORPS 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.
