Serving as SGT Mora, Melvin Yamil, from COLUMBIA, MO, at age 27, with 245TH COMBAT SUPPORT CO, 89TH REGIONAL READINESS CMD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63120, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.

He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on June 6, 2004 in BAGHDAD, 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.
