Their Story
A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? COMPANY A, 2ND BATTALION, 5TH CAVALRY (1CD), FORT HOOD, TX ? serving as SPC, Martir, Jacob David was 21 and came from NORWICH, CT.
On August 18, 2004, he died in SADR CITY, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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 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.
