Their Story
Larry Robert Bowman, a Sergeant in the United States Army, was born and raised in Granite Falls, North Carolina. He served in the 513th Transportation Company based at Fort Lewis, Washington. His commitment to serve led him to participate in Operation Iraqi Freedom, a military operation that began in March 2003.
On April 13, 2007, SGT Bowman lost his life in Baghdad, Iraq, during a period marked by intense conflict and instability. His death was recorded as a result of hostile actions, a grim reality faced by many servicemen during the years 2005 to 2007, which were notably among the deadliest of the operation.
Operation Iraqi Freedom saw significant violence, particularly after the destruction of the Al-Askari Mosque in Samarra in 2006, which intensified sectarian conflict. Bowman, like many others, was caught in the crossfire of this turmoil. His passing is a solemn reminder of the human cost inherent in such conflicts.
SGT Bowman's service and sacrifice are documented in the Defense Casualty Analysis System, a testament to his role and the ultimate price paid in service to his country. His legacy endures in the hearts of his family, friends, and fellow soldiers.
The operation officially concluded in August 2010, but the impacts of the conflict continue to be felt by those who served and their families. The loss of Bowman is one among many that highlight the profound human toll of military operations abroad.
