Their Story
Serving as SGT Varnado, Daniel Ryan, from SAUCIER, MS, at age 23, with COMPANY C, 1ST BATTALION, 155TH INFANTRY, (TF2-11 ACR), 155 BCT, BILOXI, MS, he went to Iraq with the ARMY. He did not come home.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on May 23, 2005 in HASWA, 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 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.
