Their Story
SSG Pennington, Gregory Vaughn, 36 years old, grew up in GLADE SPRING, VA and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with CO C, 2ND BN, 7TH CAV REGT, 1ST CAV DIVISION, FORT HOOD, TX 76544 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
June 21, 2004 ? Pennington, Gregory Vaughn died in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, HOSTILE. The Department of Defense confirmed his death in 2004.
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 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.
