Barron, Bryan Edward

Bryan Edward Barron was born in the United States and grew up in Biloxi, Mississippi. He served as a Specialist in the Army National Guard with Company C, 1st Battalion, 155th Infantry. His unit was part of the broader efforts of the U.S. military involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Operation Iraqi Freedom began in March 2003 as a coalition effort to remove Saddam Hussein's regime and establish a new government in Iraq. The conflict saw multiple phases, including major combat operations and subsequent efforts to stabilize the country.

On May 23, 2005, Barron was killed in Haswa, Iraq, a region that witnessed significant unrest during the conflict. He died as a result of hostile action, a term used by the U.S. military to denote death due to enemy fire or other combat-related circumstances.

The years surrounding Barron's death were marked by intense military engagements and rising sectarian violence, especially after the 2006 bombing of the al-Askari Mosque in Samarra. This period saw a peak in casualties among military personnel and civilians.

Barron's service and sacrifice are remembered alongside those of many others who participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom, a conflict that officially ended in August 2010 after seven years of military operations.

Operation Iraqi Freedom concluded in August 2010 after years of military efforts and reconstruction in Iraq. See the full roster of those killed in this conflict.

Among those documented in the same conflict: Aubin, Jay Thomas, Beaupre, Ryan Anthony, Childers, Therrel Shane, Gutierrez, Jose.
