Their Story

Oremus, Michael Kevin of HIGHLAND, NY, 21 years old, served in the ARMY with 57TH MILITARY POLICE COMPANY, SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, HAWAII at the rank of CPL ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

The date recorded for his death: October 2, 2006. Location: BAGHDAD, IRAQ. Cause: HOSTILE.

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.
