Their Story
SSG Rojas, Jonathan, 27 years old, grew up in HAMMOND, IN and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with COMPANY B, 1ST BATTALION, 17TH INFANTRY, 172D SBCT, FORT WAINWRIGHT, AK during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On October 3, 2006, he died in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
