Their Story
From SAN ANTONIO, TX, CPL Swanson, Timothy Allen, serving with HHC, 2D SQUADRON, 8TH CAVALRY, 1 BCT, FORT HOOD, TX, was 21 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on January 27, 2007 in TAJI, IRAQ, from 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.
