Their Story
From HOUSTON, TX, CPL Molina, Joshua Alexander, serving with TROOP C, 1ST SQUADRON, 2D CAVALRY, VILSECK, GERMANY, was 20 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Iraq.
On March 27, 2008, he died in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
In the later years of OIF, the surge had reduced violence significantly. But Americans continued to die ? IEDs, snipers, crashes ? as the mission shifted toward transition and withdrawal.
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.
