Their Story
Greene, David Scott was 39 and from RALEIGH, NC when he joined the Reserve, MARINE CORPS, HMLA-775, MAG-16, 3D MAW, MCAS MIRAMAR, CA as LTCOL. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
On July 28, 2004, he died in AL TAQADDUM, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
