Their Story
The ARMY, COMPANY A, 1ST BATTALION, 16TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, FORT RILEY, KS 66442, sent Shepherd, Daniel Michael of ELYRIA, OH, then 23, ? SGT ? to Iraq.
The date recorded for his death: August 15, 2004. Location: AL TAQADDUM, IRAQ. Cause: HOSTILE.
In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.
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.
