Bouffard, Jeremy Paul

CPL Jeremy Paul Bouffard, a native of Middlefield, Massachusetts, enlisted in the United States Army and was assigned to the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, part of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, based at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. He was deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a military campaign that began in March 2003.

Operation Iraqi Freedom was marked by intense conflict, particularly in the years leading up to 2007, as insurgent activities and sectarian violence escalated across the country. On August 22, 2007, CPL Bouffard was killed in action in Multaka, Iraq, a region that witnessed significant military operations during this period.

CPL Bouffard's service in Iraq was part of a broader effort by U.S. forces to stabilize the country amid complex and often dangerous conditions. His deployment came at a time when American troops were engaged in various operations to counter insurgency and restore order in the region.

The circumstances surrounding his death reflect the risks faced by soldiers deployed in conflict zones, where the environment can shift rapidly from relative calm to life-threatening danger. CPL Bouffard's contribution to his unit's mission is remembered as part of the larger narrative of sacrifice and service by military personnel during the Iraq War.

Jeremy Paul Bouffard's passing at the age of 21 is a reminder of the human cost of military operations and the enduring impact of war on families and communities at home.

Operation Iraqi Freedom concluded in August 2010 after years of military engagement marked by significant challenges and sacrifices. See the full roster of those killed in this conflict.
