Their Story

Shaffer, Jason Alan of DERRY, PA, 28 years old, served in the ARMY with HHT, 1ST SQUADRON, 12TH CAVALRY, 3 BCT, FORT HOOD, TX at the rank of SGT ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.

The date recorded for his death: April 5, 2007. Location: BAQUBAH, IRAQ. Cause: HOSTILE.

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 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.
