Their Story
From LA PUENTE, CA, SPC Morales, Jason Matthew, serving with D CO, 1-28 IN, 4 BCT, 1 ID (TASK ORG TO 1 CD), was 20 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Iraq.
Killed on April 18, 2007 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Morales, Jason Matthew was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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 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.
