Their Story
The ARMY, HHB, 3RD BATTALION, 16TH FIELD ARTILLERY, 4ID, (TF BAGHDAD), FORT HOOD, TX, sent Mariano, Robbie Matthew of STOCKTON, CA, then 21, ? PV1 ? to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on January 5, 2006 in AN NAJAF, 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.
