Their Story

Palmer, Nicklas James of LEADVILLE, CO, 19 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with C CO, 1ST CEB, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA at the rank of LCPL ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

On December 16, 2006, he died in FALLUJAH, 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 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/oif.
