Killed on March 24, 2008 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Delgado, George was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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.
