Their Story
Serving as SGT Minucci, Joseph Ii, from RICHEYVILLE, PA, at age 23, with COMPANY C 2ND BATTALION 503 INFANTRY AIRBORNE, APO AE 09630, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on November 14, 2003 in SAMARA, IRAQ, from 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.
