Their Story
Seal, Aaron Lee of ELKHART, IN, 23 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with ENG CO B, 6TH ESB, (9TH ESB, 1ST MLG, I MEF FWD), 4TH MLG, SOUTH BEND, IN at the rank of CPL ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
On October 1, 2006, he died in BAGHDADI, 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 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.
