Their Story

Sherman, Alan David was 36 and from BRICK, NJ when he joined the Reserve, MARINE CORPS, BRIDGE CO B, 6TH ESB, 4TH FSSG, FOLSOM, PA as SGT. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.

June 29, 2004 ? Sherman, Alan David died in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, HOSTILE. The Department of Defense confirmed his death in 2004.

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 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.
