Their Story

Khan, Kareem Rashad Sultan of OCEAN ACRES, NJ, 20 years old, served in the ARMY with COMPANY B, 1ST BATTALION, 23D INFANTRY, FORT LEWIS, WA at the rank of CPL ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on August 6, 2007 in BAQUBAH, IRAQ, from 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.
