Their Story
Tanner, John Corey was 21 and from COLUMBUS, GA when he joined the Active Duty, MARINE CORPS, B CO, 3D AA BN, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA as CPL. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on August 29, 2007 in ALBU HYATT, 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 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.
