Their Story
The ARMY, C BATTERY, 1ST BATTALION / 7TH FA (1ID), APO AE 09033 (SCHWEINFURT, GE), sent Jones, Raymond Edison Jr of GAINESVILLE, FL, then 31, ? SFC ? to Iraq.
On April 9, 2004, he died in BAYJI, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
