Their Story
PFC Pfender, Jonathan Richard, 22 years old, grew up in EVANSVILLE, IN and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with HHC, 1ST BN, 187TH INF, FORT CAMPBELL (TF BAND OF BROTHERS), KY during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Killed on December 30, 2005 in BAYJI, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Pfender, Jonathan Richard 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.
