Their Story
The MARINE CORPS, C CO, 1ST BN, 1ST MAR, (RCT-6, II MEF FWD), 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, sent Medlicott, Matthew Sauer of HOUSTON, TX, then 21, ? LCPL ? to Iraq.
On August 25, 2007, the MARINE CORPS lost LCPL Medlicott, Matthew Sauer in TAQQADUM, IRAQ. He was 21. The MARINE CORPS recorded the cause as 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 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.
