Their Story
Serving as SPC King, Eric Dean, from VANCOUVER, WA, at age 29, with COMPANY B, 1ST BATTALION, 67TH ARMORED REGIMENT, 2D BCT, 4 ID, FORT HOOD, TX, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On April 22, 2006, the ARMY lost SPC King, Eric Dean in BAGHDAD, IRAQ. He was 29. The ARMY recorded the cause as 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.
