Their Story
From LOS LUNAS, NM, SGT Dahl, Joel Anthony, serving with HHC, 2D BATTALION, 23D INFANTRY, 4 BCT, FORT LEWIS, WA, was 21 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Iraq.

Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
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.
