| Summary / Abstract (Note) | At the beginning of 2005, the U.S. military was still trudging its way through an intensifying war in Iraq just 13 months after having pulled Saddam Hussein from a spider hole in Ad Dawr. U.S. support for the war had been waning since his capture in December 2003, as the post-9/11, pro-war glow had worn off, revealing instead its stark and bloody tragedies. This grim reality was punctuated with a deadly exclamation point on 26 January 2005, when 37 U.S. troops were killed, the deadliest day to date of the Iraq war. Among those killed were 31 who died in a helicopter crash. And among those 31 was Hospital Corpsman Third Class (HM3) John House. |
