Their Story
Serving as CPL Charette, Holly Ann, from CRANSTON, RI, at age 21, with HQ BN, (HQ CO, 8TH MAR, RCT-8), 2D MAR DIV, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC, she went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. She did not come home.
She did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded her death on June 23, 2005 in FALLUJAH, IRAQ, from 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 MARINE CORPS classified her death as "HOSTILE" ? a category that matters to the families who must make sense of it. Her name is documented in the Defense Casualty Analysis System at https://dcas.dmdc.osd.mil/dcas/app/conflictCasualties/oif.
