Their Story
Taylor, Bryan Nicholas was 20 and from MILFORD, OH when he joined the Active Duty, MARINE CORPS, 2D CEB, 2D MAR DIV, (I MEF FWD, RCT-7), CAMP LEJEUNE, NC as LCPL. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
On April 6, 2006, he died in BP TINIAN, 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 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.
