Their Story
Serving as CPL Tomci, Joseph Anthony, from STOW, OH, at age 21, with L CO, 3D BN, 8TH MAR, (1-1 AD, I MEF FWD), 2D MAR DIV, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC, he went to Iraq with the MARINE CORPS. He did not come home.
The date recorded for his death: August 2, 2006. Location: AR RAMADI, IRAQ. Cause: 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.
