Their Story
Serving as LCPL Holmes, Jeffery Scott, from WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, at age 20, with B CO, 1ST BN, 8TH MAR, (RCT-7, 1ST MAR DIV), 2D MAR DIV, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC, he went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on November 25, 2004 in FALLUJAH, IRAQ, from 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 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.
