Their Story
The ARMY, TROOP A, 3D SQUADRON, 73D CAVALRY, 1 BCT, FORT BRAGG, NC, sent Cox, Jason Nathaniel of ELYRIA, OH, then 21, ? SPC ? to Iraq.
On June 16, 2008, the ARMY lost SPC Cox, Jason Nathaniel in BALAD, IRAQ. He was 21. The ARMY recorded the cause as HOSTILE.
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 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.
