Their Story
Serving as PO1 Rovinski, Gary Thomas, from WILKES-BARRE, PA, at age 44, with NMCB TWO FIVE, FORT MCCOY, WI, he went to Iraq with the NAVY. He did not come home.
On June 5, 2006, he died in SW OF ANAH, 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 NAVY 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.
