Their Story
CPL Chitjian, Adam James, 39 years old, grew up in PHILADELPHIA, PA and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with TROOP E, 3D SQUADRON, 8TH CAVALRY, 3 BCT, FORT HOOD, TX during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on October 25, 2007 in BALAD, 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 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.
