Their Story
From DAVIE, FL, SSGT Gonzales Cordova, Ramon Ernesto, serving with H&S CO, 1STBN, 5THMAR, (2-28 BCT, 2D MARDIV), 1ST MARDIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, was 30 years old when he deployed with the MARINE CORPS to Iraq.
The date recorded for his death: August 8, 2005. Location: AR RAMADI, 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.
