Their Story
Renehan, Kyle Joseph was 21 and from OXFORD, PA when he joined the Active Duty, MARINE CORPS, HMM 263, MAG 16, 3D MAW, CHERRY POINT, NC as CPL. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on December 9, 2004 in KAISERSLAUTERN, GERMANY, from HOSTILE.
Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
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.
