Their Story
A Active Duty member of the MARINE CORPS ? G CO, 2D BN, 1ST MAR, RCT-1, 1ST MARDIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA ? serving as LCPL, Frank, Phillip Edward was 20 and came from ELK GROVE, IL.
On April 8, 2004, the MARINE CORPS lost LCPL Frank, Phillip Edward in AL ANBAR PROVINCE, IRAQ. He was 20. The MARINE CORPS 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 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.
