Their Story
Serving as CSM Faulkenburg, Steven Wayne, from HUNTINGBURG, IN, at age 45, with HHC, 2D BN, 2D INF, 1ST INF DIV, APO AE 09112, (VILSECK, GERMANY), he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On November 9, 2004, the ARMY lost CSM Faulkenburg, Steven Wayne in FALLUJAH, IRAQ. He was 45. The ARMY recorded the cause as 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.
