Their Story
CPT Kurth, John Frederick, 31 years old, grew up in COLUMBUS, WI and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with B CO 1ST BATTALION 18TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, APO AE 09033 (SCHWEINFURT, GE) during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on March 13, 2004 in TIKRIT, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
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 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.
