Their Story
Serving as PFC Kritzer, Bradley Gordon, from IRVONA, PA, at age 19, with A BATTERY, 1ST BATTALION, 21ST FIELD ARTILLERY (1 CD) FORT HOOD, TX 76544, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
Killed on May 5, 2004 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Kritzer, Bradley Gordon 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.
