Their Story
SGT Mason, Nicholas Conan, 20 years old, grew up in KING GEORGE, VA and served as National Guard in the ARMY with C COMPANY, 276TH ENGINEER BATTALION, WEST POINT, VA 28131 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On December 21, 2004, the ARMY lost SGT Mason, Nicholas Conan in MOSUL, IRAQ. He was 20. The ARMY recorded the cause as 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 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.
