Their Story
From PAGO PAGO, AS, SSG Tava'e, Ioasa Filogia Jr, serving with COMPANY A, 1ST BATTALION, 5TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, 3RD BCT, 25TH INFANTRY DIVISION, FORT LEWIS, WA, was 29 years old when he deployed with the ARMY to Iraq.
On April 2, 2005, he died in MOSUL, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?. His name entered the Defense Casualty Analysis System that day.
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.
