Their Story
A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? HHC 588TH ENGINEER BATTALION, FORT HOOD, TX 76544 ? serving as SPC, Norquist, Joseph Carl was 26 and came from SAN ANTONIO, TX.
The date recorded for his death: October 9, 2003. Location: BALAD, IRAQ. Cause: 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.
