Their Story
Serving as LCPL Medina, Brian Anthony, from WOODBRIDGE, VA, at age 20, with B CO, 1ST BN, 3D MAR, RCT-7, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, he went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.
On November 12, 2004, he died in FALLUJAH, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
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.
