Their Story
Lu, Victor Ronald was 22 and from LOS ANGELES, CA when he joined the Active Duty, MARINE CORPS, L CO, 3D BN, 5TH MAR, RCT-1, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA as LCPL. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on November 13, 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.
