Their Story
From KANSAS CITY, KS, SGT Murray, Joel Lee, serving with COMPANY C, 2D BATTALION, 16TH INFANTRY, 4 BCT, FORT RILEY, KS, was 26 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Iraq.
On September 4, 2007, he died in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
