Their Story
Kelly, Bryan Patrick was 21 and from KLAMATH FALLS, OR when he joined the Active Duty, MARINE CORPS, B CO, 1ST CEB, 2D BN, 2D MAR, RCT-1, 1ST MARDIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA as LCPL. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
On July 16, 2004, he died in AL ANBAR PROVINCE, 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 MARINE CORPS 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.
