Their Story
The MARINE CORPS, WOUNDED WARRIOR BN WEST, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, sent Canon, Oscar Eduardo of DUMONT, NJ, then 29, ? SSGT ? to Iraq.
On February 15, 2012, he died in OCEANSIDE, UNITED STATES ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
In the later years of OIF, the surge had reduced violence significantly. But Americans continued to die ? IEDs, snipers, crashes ? as the mission shifted toward transition and withdrawal.
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.
