Their Story

SPC Botello, Brian A, 19 years old, grew up in ALTA, IA and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with TROOP A, 3D SQUADRON, 61ST CAVALRY, FORT CARSON, CO during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The date recorded for his death: April 29, 2007. Location: BAGHDAD, IRAQ. Cause: 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.
