Their Story
A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? COMPANY A, 2D BATTALION, 6TH INFANTRY, (I MEF) BAUMHOLDER, GERMANY ? serving as SPC, Hsia, Hai Ming was 37 and came from NEW YORK, NY.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on August 1, 2006 in AR RAMADI, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
The years 2005?2007 were OIF's deadliest. Sectarian violence surged after the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari shrine in Samarra. American troops were caught between militias, insurgents, and a government that barely functioned.
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.
