Their Story
CPL Gibson, Christopher Alan, 23 years old, grew up in SIMI VALLEY, CA and served as Active Duty in the MARINE CORPS with L CO, 3D BN, 7TH MAR, 1ST MAR DIV, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The date recorded for his death: April 17, 2004. Location: AL ANBAR PROVINCE, IRAQ. Cause: 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 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.
