Their Story
SGT Burgess, Bryan K, 35 years old, grew up in GARDEN CITY, MI and served as Reserve in the MARINE CORPS with WPNS CO, 1ST BN, 24TH MAR, (RCT-5, I MEF FWD), 4TH MAR DIV, PERRYSBURG, OH during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On November 9, 2006, he died in FALLUJAH, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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 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.
