Their Story
Booker, Darryl Demetrial of MIDLOTHIAN, VA, 37 years old, served in the ARMY with 29TH TACTICAL COMMAND POST, SANDSTON, VA at the rank of SSG ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on January 20, 2007 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
The years 2005?2007 were OIF's deadliest. Sectarian violence surged after the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari shrine in Samarra. American troops were caught between militias, insurgents, and a government that barely functioned.
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.
