Bewley, Kevin Ronald

Kevin Ronald Bewley, a Petty Officer First Class in the United States Navy, was part of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 11. Hailing from Hector, Arkansas, he was deeply committed to his role in the military. His service took him to Iraq, where he participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom, a conflict that began on March 19, 2003, with a U.S.-led invasion.

On November 5, 2007, Bewley was killed in Bayji, Iraq. His death came as a result of hostile action, which claimed his life at the age of 27. His passing was recorded as one of the numerous fatalities suffered by U.S. forces during the conflict, which officially concluded in August 2010.

Bewley's role in the Navy involved dealing with explosive ordnance, a dangerous task that underscored the risks taken by military personnel in conflict zones. His unit, EOD Mobile Unit 11, was responsible for mitigating the threats posed by unexploded ordnance and improvised explosive devices, crucial tasks in the theatre of war.

Operation Iraqi Freedom saw significant involvement from U.S. forces, with the loss of 4,418 American service members. Bewley's sacrifice is part of this broader narrative of military engagement and its human cost. His death is a reminder of the perils faced by those in service and the impact on families and communities back home.

Operation Iraqi Freedom, which concluded in August 2010, saw significant U.S. military involvement and casualties. See the full roster of those killed in this conflict.
