Their Story

Serving as LCPL Reilly, Thomas Jr, from LONDON, KY, at age 19, with C CO, 1ST BN, 3D MAR, 3D MAR DIV, KANEOHE BAY, HI, he went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.

The date recorded for his death: December 21, 2008. Location: KARMAH, IRAQ. Cause: 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 MARINE CORPS 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.
