Their Story
Serving as 1LT Gaspers, Kevin John, from HASTINGS, NE, at age 26, with TROOP B, 5TH SQUADRON, 73D CAVALRY, 3 BCT, (25 ID), FORT BRAGG, NC, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on April 23, 2007 in AS SADAH VILLAGE, IRAQ, from 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.
