Their Story
A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? COMPANY B, 1ST BATTALION, 8TH INFANTRY, 3 BCT, FORT CARSON, CO ? serving as SGT, Craig, James Edward was 26 and came from HOLLYWOOD, CA.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on January 28, 2008 in MOSUL, IRAQ, from 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.
