Their Story
The ARMY, HHC 5TH ENGINEER BATTALION 1ST ENGINEER BRIGADE, FORT LEONARD WOOD, MO 65473, sent Biskie, Benjamin Walter of VERMILION, OH, then 27, ? SGT ? to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on December 24, 2003 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.
