Their Story

Serving as SSG Patterson, Esau George Jr, from RIDGELAND, SC, at age 25, with C BTRY, 4TH BATTALION/27TH FA (1AD) APO AE 09034 (BAUMHOLDER, GE), he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.

He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on April 29, 2004 in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.

In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.

The members of C BTRY, 4TH BATTALION/27TH FA (1AD) APO AE 09034 (BAUMHOLDER, GE) who served alongside him carry his memory. His record in DCAS documents his service and sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
