Their Story
From LAWTON, OK, LCPL Wilson, Lamont Noel, serving with F CO, 2D BN, 1ST MAR, RCT-1, 1ST MAR DIV, CAMP PENDLETON, CA, was 20 years old when he deployed with the MARINE CORPS to Iraq.
Killed on September 6, 2004 in AL ANBAR PROVINCE, IRAQ ? HOSTILE ?, Wilson, Lamont Noel was one of the 4418 Americans the country lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
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.
