Their Story
The ARMY, TROOP B, 5TH SQUADRON, 73D CAVALRY, (25 ID), FORT BRAGG, NC, sent Vaughan, Michael Louis of OTIS, OR, then 20, ? SGT ? to Iraq.
He did not survive OIF. The ARMY recorded his death on April 23, 2007 in AS SADAH VILLAGE, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
Operation Iraqi Freedom began March 19, 2003 with the US-led invasion. The stated justification ? weapons of mass destruction ? was never found. Seven years of occupation, insurgency, and sectarian war followed, killing 4,418 Americans and an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians.
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.
