Idanan, Michael June of CHULA VISTA, CA, 21 years old, served in the ARMY with TROOP A, 1ST SQUADRON, 33D CAVALRY, TF BAND OF BROTHERS, FORT CAMPBELL, KY at the rank of SGT ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
On November 19, 2005, he died in BAYJI, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
