Their Story
SPC Swaney, Robert Adam, 21 years old, grew up in WEST JEFFERSON, OH and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with HOWITZER BATTERY, 3D SQUADRON, 3D ACR, (TF BAGHDAD), FORT CARSON, CO during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
On July 30, 2005, he died in BAGHDAD, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
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.
