Their Story

Kephart, Jonathan Roy of OIL CITY, PA, 21 years old, served in the ARMY with 230TH MILITARY POLICE COMPANY, APO AE 09227 (KAISERSLAUTERN, GE) at the rank of SPC ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

Killed on April 9, 2004 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Kephart, Jonathan Roy was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

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.
