Their Story
The MARINE CORPS, H&S CO, RCT-7, 1ST MAR DIV, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA, sent Boyles, Aaron Robert of NEWARK, CA, then 24, ? LCPL ? to Iraq.
Killed on September 24, 2004 in AL ANBAR PROVINCE, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Boyles, Aaron Robert was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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 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.
