Army Pfc. Stephen A. Castellano

Schofield soldier dies in Iraq

Associated Press

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii — A Hawaii-based soldier died last week in Iraq, military officials said Tuesday.

Pfc. Stephen A. Castellano died Friday from a non-combat related injury in Mosul, the Army said in a news release.

The 21-year-old infantryman from Long Beach, Calif., was assigned to Company C, 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division (Light) based at Schofield Barracks, the Army said.

Castellano joined the Army on Feb. 11, 2003, and arrived in Hawaii in April of that year.

No other details were immediately available.

Castellano’s death brings to 80 the number of service members with notable Hawaii ties to be killed in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan since the March 2003 start of the war in Iraq. One civilian from Hawaii was also killed in Iraq last year.

About 12,000 Hawaii-based troops are deployed to those regions, with most completing their scheduled one-year deployments early this year.

About 4,700 members of the Hawaii Army National Guard and Reserves are scheduled to leave for Iraq starting this month.

Laurie Cobb

She was my 3rd and 5th grade teacher. Today I'm 32 and still think about her. She was the best teacher ever. From her hair children stories to her bubbly happiness and kindness she spread. I'll never forget her. She was the teacher who had lunch with the kids in her classroom so everyone had someone to be with. She made my school experience amazing. I will never forget her.. I love you Mrs. Cobb. Sincerely, Forever in my thoughts, Alyssa (Viau) Capone

Larry E Polley Jr

SPC Polley died almost two decades ago so I don't know if this message will be seen. In honor of Memorial Day, my agency hands out cards with names of those who have fallen. This year, 2023, I received the card for SPC Polley and was inspired to look up more on him. I am thankful for his service and sacrifice. My condolences to his family. He is not forgotten.

Love you and miss you always. Since you been gone it has been hard for everyone. I know you loved what you did, and I want to thank you for our freedom. If I can have you back home and safe living your life man everything would be different. No matter how much money they would offer me I would rather have you alive and home. Money comes and go so it's not worth losing you.

Christopher D Young

hello my name is Jesus Vega I would like to give my condolences to Christopher's family and friends, I served with him in Iraq and slept in the same quarters. I have many fond memories of him. I have never forgotten his sacrifice. I would like to share that the greatest memory I had of Chris is that he would speak highly of his mom and how much she meant to him. Chris was a strong minded person and looked out for other. He was kind and friendly the he made friends with everyone. Chris was truly a great man! I sincerely apologize for not sharing sooner. but would like to express that Chris's memory will never be forgotten! though he is not with us he will always be in spirit! If this message gets to Christopher's mother I she could know she raised a great man and for that I thank you.

James David Parker

I knew James David Parker as "Dave" when he lived in Solon Ohio. We met when I moved into town from out of state. He and his group of friends were a year or two older than me. Dave was a bright beacon of hope and joy to me. I was an unsure young man in a strange place. Dave introduced me to many people and ensured his friends always saved me a seat in the lunchroom. I have fond memories of him and his friends during that time. I doubt so many people would have been as wonderful toward me without Dave's incredible kindness. I've never forgotten his kindness. I hope to be able to pay it forward someday.

Tyler O. Griffin

Condolences to the family. Freedom is not free, it cost this man's life. Thank you is not enough. Grieving is not enough for your loss though it is all we have, the Sandoval Family
