Their Story
SGT Jopek, Ryan David, 20 years old, grew up in MERRILL, WI and served as National Guard in the ARMY with COMPANY A, 2D BATTALION, 127TH INFANTRY, WAUPUN, WI during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The date recorded for his death: August 2, 2006. Location: AD DAWAR, IRAQ. Cause: 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.
