Their Story
Serving as SSG Kane, Joseph Michael, from DARBY, PA, at age 35, with COMPANY E, 1ST BATTALION, 67TH ARMOR, 2 BCT, FORT HOOD, TX, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
The date recorded for his death: October 14, 2006. Location: BAGHDAD, 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.
