Their Story
From MALDEN, MA, LCPL Garvin, Edward Marcell, serving with D CO, 2D LAR BN, (RCT-7, I MEF FWD), 2D MAR DIV, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC, was 19 years old when he deployed with the MARINE CORPS to Iraq.
The date recorded for his death: October 4, 2006. Location: RAWAH, 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 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.
