Their Story
SPC Ebert, Blain Matthew, 22 years old, grew up in WASHTUCNA, WA and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with A BATTERY, 4TH BATTALION, 5TH AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY, FORT HOOD, TX 76544 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on November 22, 2004 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
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.
