Their Story
LCPL Twigg, Joshua Thomas, 21 years old, grew up in INDIANA, PA and served as Active Duty in the MARINE CORPS with 2D BN 9TH MAR, (RCT-7, I MEF FWD), 2D MAR DIV, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC during Operation Enduring Freedom.
The date recorded for his death: September 2, 2010. Location: CAMP DWYER, AFGHANISTAN. Cause: HOSTILE.
In the final years of OEF, a surge had been deployed and drawn down. The Taliban had outlasted every strategy. The Afghan army the US built would collapse six years after OEF ended.
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/oef.
