Our Honored Fallen Troopers
Operation Iraqi Freedom II
(2004 - 2005)
The names of 169 Troopers who paid the ultimate sacrifice serving their country in Operation Iraqi Freedom II are reflected on this list. They died serving their country so that we and others may enjoy the benefits of liberty that they so much loved, protected and defended. Each of these Troopers was assigned or attached to the 1st Cavalry Division at the time of their death.
They will never be forgotten!
