Their Story

Killed on December 18, 2006 in CAMP KOREAN VILLAGE, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Kryst, Kevin Michael was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
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.
