Their Story
The ARMY, HHC, 1ST BATTALION, 22D INFANTRY, 1 BCT, FORT HOOD, TX, sent Pearson, Andrew R of BILLINGS, MT, then 32, ? CPT ? to Iraq.
On April 30, 2008, the ARMY lost CPT Pearson, Andrew R in BAGHDAD, IRAQ. He was 32. The ARMY recorded the cause as 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.
