ATLANTA — Three Georgia reservists have been identified as the three United States service members killed in a drone attack in Jordan near the border with Syria on Sunday.
The Department of Defense has identified the soldiers as Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah.
All three were stationed at Fort Moore.
The attack on Sunday wounded at least 34 others.
The Associated Press reported that of the wounded, most had cuts, bruises, brain injuries and other injuries. Eight had to be medically evacuated with one service member in critical but stable condition.
“Breonna was an amazing sister and was very well loved by her family and friends and always lit up a room,” Moffett’s mother, Regina, told ABC News.
Gov. Brian Kemp released a statement on social media, saying, in part:
“This inexcusable loss of life and the attack from terrorists that resulted in these causalities is a reminder of why we stand with the friends of liberty,” Kemp said.
