Originating from Niagara Falls, New York, Bass was stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. At 25, he was deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Operation Iraqi Freedom commenced on March 19, 2003, with a US-led invasion aimed at toppling Saddam Hussein's government. Bass and his unit were part of the broader effort to stabilize the region and support the newly established government.
