Their Story
The ARMY, COMPANY C, 4TH BATTALION, 9TH INFANTRY, 4 BCT, FORT LEWIS, WA, sent Paniagua-morales, Jose Alejandro of BELL GARDENS, CA, then 22, ? CPL ? to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on March 7, 2008 in BALAD, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
In the later years of OIF, the surge had reduced violence significantly. But Americans continued to die ? IEDs, snipers, crashes ? as the mission shifted toward transition and withdrawal.
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.
