Their Story
Serving as SGT Grilley, Sean Richard, from SAN BERNARDINO, CA, at age 24, with 194TH MILITARY POLICE COMPANY, FORT CAMPBELL, KY 42223, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On October 16, 2003, the ARMY lost SGT Grilley, Sean Richard in KARBALA, IRAQ. He was 24. The ARMY recorded the cause as HOSTILE.
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.
