Their Story
Williams, Michael Jason was 31 and from YUMA, AZ when he joined the Active Duty, MARINE CORPS, HQSVCCO, 1ST BN, 2D MAR, 2D MEB, DET A, CAMP LEJEUNE, NC as LCPL. Operation Iraqi Freedom would take his life.
He did not survive OIF. The MARINE CORPS recorded his death on March 23, 2003 in AN NASIRIYAH, IRAQ, from HOSTILE.
In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.
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/oif.
