Their Story
Serving as CPL Ott, Nicholas Stephen, from MANCHESTER, NJ, at age 23, with 1ST BN 3D MAR (II MEF FWD), 3D MAR DIV, KANEOHE, BAY, HI, he went to Afghanistan, Philippines, Horn of Africa with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.
On August 10, 2011, the MARINE CORPS lost CPL Ott, Nicholas Stephen in HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN. He was 23. The MARINE CORPS recorded the cause as HOSTILE.
In the final years of OEF, a surge had been deployed and drawn down. The Taliban had outlasted every strategy. The Afghan army the US built would collapse six years after OEF ended.
The MARINE CORPS 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/oef.
