Their Story
Serving as SGT Shields, Jonathan Bernard, from ATLANTA, GA, at age 25, with C CO, 3RD BN, 8TH CAVALRY, 1ST CAVALRY DIV, FORT HOOD, TX 76544, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
On November 12, 2004, he died in FALLUJAH, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
