Their Story
From VISTA, CA, SGT Dunlap, Brian Enrique, serving with G CO, 2D BN, 23D MAR, 4TH MAR DIV, LOS ALAMITOS, CA, was 34 years old when he deployed with the MARINE CORPS to Iraq.
On September 24, 2005, he died in TAQADDUM, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
The years 2005?2007 were OIF's deadliest. Sectarian violence surged after the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari shrine in Samarra. American troops were caught between militias, insurgents, and a government that barely functioned.
The MARINE CORPS 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.
