Their Story
The ARMY, COMPANY B, 2ND BATTALION, 5TH INFANTRY, 1 BCT, FORT HOOD, TX, sent Steinbacher, Nicholas Paul of LA CRESCENTA, CA, then 22, ? SPC ? to Iraq.
The date recorded for his death: December 10, 2006. Location: BAGHDAD, 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.
