Their Story
SPC Jacobs, Morgen Nathaniel, 20 years old, grew up in SANTA CRUZ, CA and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with B COMPANY, 1ST BATTALION, 18TH INFANTRY, 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION, APO AE 09226 (SCHWEINFURT, GE) during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On October 7, 2004, the ARMY lost SPC Jacobs, Morgen Nathaniel in TIKRIT, 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.
