Their Story

From PHOENIX, AZ, PO3 Sisung, David Leonard, serving with USS NIMITZ (CVN 68), was 21 years old when he deployed with the NAVY to Iraq.

He did not survive OIF. The NAVY recorded his death on June 6, 2003 in Iraq.

In the first year of occupation, military victory gave way to an insurgency the US hadn't planned for. Disbanding the Iraqi army created a vacuum. Armed groups filled it immediately.
