Their Story
The MARINE CORPS, I CO, 3D BN, 7TH MAR,(2-28 BCT, 2D MAR DIV), 1ST MAR DIV, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA, sent Spears, Jonathan Ross of MOLINO, FL, then 21, ? CPL ? to Iraq.
Killed on October 23, 2005 in AR RAMADI, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Spears, Jonathan Ross was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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 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.
