Their Story
LCPL Dyer, Christopher Jenkins, 19 years old, grew up in HAMILTON, OH and served as Reserve in the MARINE CORPS with L CO, 3D BN, 25TH MAR, (RCT-2, 2D MAR DIV), 4TH MAR DIV, COLUMBUS, OH during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on August 3, 2005 in BARWANAH, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
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.
