Their Story
Serving as SSG Freeman, Brian Lee, from CALEDONIA, MS, at age 27, with I TROOP, 3D SQUADRON, 3D ARMORED CAVALRY, (TF BAGHDAD), FORT CARSON, CO, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
The date recorded for his death: November 7, 2005. Location: BAGHDAD, IRAQ. Cause: 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 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.
