Their Story
A Active Duty member of the ARMY ? 703RD ORDNANCE CO, (184TH ORDNANCE BN, 52ND ORDNANCE GROUP) FORT KNOX, KY 40121 ? serving as SSG, Ramey, Richard Patrick was 27 and came from CANTON, OH.
On February 8, 2004, he died in MAHMUDIYAH, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
