Three American soldiers have been tragically identified as victims of a recent drone strike in Jordan. Among them was Specialist Kennedy Ladon Sanders, a 24-year-old from Waycross, Georgia. The other two soldiers were Specialist Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, from Savannah, Georgia, and Sergeant William Jerome Rivers, 46, from Carrollton, Georgia. The Department of Defense has confirmed that the soldiers were killed when their container housing units were destroyed by an unmanned aerial system on a base in northeast Jordan.
All three soldiers were part of the 718th Engineer Company, 926th Engineer Battalion, 926th Engineer Brigade based in Fort Moore, Georgia. They had been deployed to support Operation Inherent Resolve. The loss of these brave soldiers is a devastating blow to their unit and the entire military community.
The attack on the Tower 22 outpost, which houses around 350 American soldiers, is still under investigation. President Joe Biden has pointed to Iran-backed militant groups in Iraq and Syria as the likely perpetrators of the strike. These groups have been targeting US forces in the Middle East for months, especially during the recent Israel-Hamas conflict.
Spc Kennedy Ladon Sanders, affectionately known as "Munchkin" by her father, will be deeply missed by her family and friends. Her father, Shawn Sanders, expressed his gratitude for the respect shown towards his daughter, stating, "Our family would like to thank you for the respect given to Kennedy. Munchkin will be missed by many."
In honor of Sanders, leaders in Ware County, Georgia have ordered all flags to be flown at half-mast on the day of her internment. They have also issued a proclamation to honor her service and sacrifice. Sanders' dedication to defending our nation and protecting our freedoms will always be remembered and cherished.
