Their Story
From CAMDEN, AR, PFC Cheatham, Jonathan Marshall, serving with 489TH ENGINEER BATTALION, NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR 72118, was 19 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on July 26, 2003 in DOGWOOD, IRAQ, from 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 ARMY 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.
