Their Story
Schramm, Brian Keith of ROCHESTER, NY, 22 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with B CO, DET, 2D AABN, (1STBN, 2DMAR, 24TH MEU, 1ST MARDIV), CAMP LEJEUNE, NC at the rank of LCPL ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
On October 15, 2004, he died in ISKANDERIYAH, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
