Their Story

Secher, Robert Michael of GERMANTOWN, TN, 33 years old, served in the MARINE CORPS with 3D BN, 12 MAR, 3D MAR DIV, MCBH KANEOBE BAY, HI at the rank of CAPT ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

The date recorded for his death: October 8, 2006. Location: AL ASAD, IRAQ. Cause: HOSTILE.

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.
