Their Story
Vaughn, Jason Walter of IUKA, MS, 29 years old, served in the ARMY with COMPANY A, 5TH BATTALION, 20TH INFANTRY, FORT LEWIS, WA at the rank of SGT ? one of the Americans deployed to Iraq.
On May 10, 2007, the ARMY lost SGT Vaughn, Jason Walter in OLD BAQUBAH, IRAQ. He was 29. The ARMY recorded the cause as 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.
