Their Story
The NAVY, NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE DEVELOPMENT GROUP, sent Hardy, Nathan Hall of DURHAM, NH, then 29, ? CPO ? to Iraq.
On February 4, 2008, he died in BALAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
In the later years of OIF, the surge had reduced violence significantly. But Americans continued to die ? IEDs, snipers, crashes ? as the mission shifted toward transition and withdrawal.
The NAVY 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.
