Their Story
Serving as PFC Creighton-weldon, Michael Russell, from PALM BAY, FL, at age 20, with COMPANY A, 2D BATTALION, 7TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, FORT STEWART, GA 31313, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On March 29, 2003, he died in OBJ RAIDER, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
