Their Story
The ARMY, COMPANY B, 1ST BATTALION, 30TH INFANTRY (2 MEF), FORT BENNING, GA, sent Johnson, Leon Montiel of JACKSONVILLE, FL, then 28, ? SGT ? to Iraq.
Killed on October 10, 2005 in AR RAMADI, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Johnson, Leon Montiel was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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.
