Their Story

Parker, Richard Kevin of PHILLIPS, ME, 26 years old, served in the ARMY with BATTERY A, 1ST BATTALION, 121ST FIELD ARTILLERY, AUGUSTA, ME at the rank of SGT ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

Killed on June 14, 2007 in SCANIA, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Parker, Richard Kevin was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

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.
