Their Story
SSG Garyantes, Joseph Paul, 34 years old, grew up in REHOBOTH BEACH, DE and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with B CO, 1-63 ARMOR REGT (1ID), APO AE 09112 VILSECK, GERMANY during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on May 18, 2004 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, from 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.
