Their Story

Lopez, Hilario F of INGLESIDE, TX, 22 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with K CO, 3D BN, 5TH MAR, RCT-1, 1ST MAR DIV, I MEF, CAMP PENDLETON, CA at the rank of LCPL ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on December 12, 2004 in FALLUJAH, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.

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 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.
