Their Story

A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? 705TH ORDNANCE COMPANY (EOD), FORT POLK, LA ? serving as CPL, Hewitt, Cory Michael was 26 and came from BUMPUS MILLS, TN.

On December 21, 2004, the ARMY lost CPL Hewitt, Cory Michael in MOSUL, IRAQ. He was 26. 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.
