Their Story
Serving as SPC Hebert, Justin William, from ARLINGTON, WA, at age 20, with BATTERY D 319TH FIELD ARTILLERY, 173D AIRBORNE BRIGADE, APO AE 09630, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On August 1, 2003, the ARMY lost SPC Hebert, Justin William in KIRKUK, IRAQ. He was 20. The ARMY recorded the cause as 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 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.
