The Pentagon on Monday identified the three Army soldiers who were killed in a suicide drone attack in Jordan over the weekend.
All three soldiers served in the Army Reserve, according to the Pentagon, and were assigned to Georgia’s Fort Moore.
The soldiers are: Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Ga.; Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Ga.; and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah, Ga.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) mourned the loss of all three soldiers Monday.
“These soldiers gave the last full measure of devotion in service to this country. This inexcusable loss of life and the attack from terrorists that resulted in these casualties is a reminder of why we stand with the friends of liberty,” Kemp said in a statement .
“The entire Kemp family asks that Georgians everywhere join us in keeping the loved ones of those lost in this attack in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.”
President Biden also extended his condolences to the families of the service members in a statement Sunday, saying the soldiers “embodied the very best of our nation” and “were patriots in the highest sense.”
