Their Story
SGT Vaughn, Richard Allen, 22 years old, grew up in SAN DIEGO, CA and served as Active Duty in the ARMY with COMPANY C, 1ST BATTALION, 66TH ARMOR, 1 BCT, FORT HOOD, TX during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The date recorded for his death: April 7, 2008. Location: BAGHDAD, IRAQ. Cause: HOSTILE.
In the later years of OIF, the surge had reduced violence significantly. But Americans continued to die ? IEDs, snipers, crashes ? as the mission shifted toward transition and withdrawal.
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.
