Their Story
SPC Garza, Israel, 25 years old, grew up in LUBBOCK, TX and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with A CO. 2ND BATTALION / 5TH CAVALRY REGIMENT (1ST CAV DIV), FORT HOOD, TX 76544 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
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.
