Their Story
The MARINE CORPS, A CO, 1ST LAR, 1ST BN, 3D MAR, RCT-7, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, sent Burns, Kyle Wayne of LARAMIE, WY, then 20, ? LCPL ? to Iraq.
On November 11, 2004, the MARINE CORPS lost LCPL Burns, Kyle Wayne in FALLUJAH, IRAQ. He was 20. The MARINE CORPS recorded the cause as 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 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.
