Their Story
SPC Ross, Marco Damian, 20 years old, grew up in MEMPHIS, TN and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with A COMPANY, 115TH FORWARD SUPPORT BATTALION (1CD) FORT HOOD TX 76544 during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On August 25, 2004, he died in BAGHDAD, 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.
