Their Story
Serving as SGT Karim, Brian Christopher, from TALCOTT, WV, at age 22, with COMPANY A, 2D BATTALION, 70TH ARMOR, 3D BCT (TF BAGHDAD), FORT RILEY, KS, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On December 13, 2005, he died in TAJI, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
