Their Story
Lee, Jason Thomas was 26 and from FRUITPORT, MI when he joined the Active Duty, ARMY, COMPANY B, 1ST BATTALION, 38TH INFANTRY, 4 BCT, FORT LEWIS, WA as SPC. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on November 18, 2007 in BALAD, 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.
