Their Story

Serving as CPL Fey, Tyler Richard, from EDEN PRAIRIE, MN, at age 22, with 1ST CEB, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, he went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.

The date recorded for his death: April 4, 2004. Location: AL ANBAR PROVINCE, IRAQ. Cause: 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 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.
