A Active Duty member of the MARINE CORPS ? 3D BN 5TH MAR (RCT-2, I MEF FWD) 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA ? serving as LCPL, Vinnedge, Phillip David was 19 and came from SAINT CHARLES, MO.
Killed on October 13, 2010 in HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN ? HOSTILE ?, Vinnedge, Phillip David was one of the 2356 Americans the country lost in Operation Enduring Freedom.
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.
