Three Georgia Soldiers Identified in Jordan Attack
The Pentagon has officially released the identities of the three service members who tragically lost their lives in the drone attack in Jordan on Sunday. The fallen soldiers hailed from Georgia, and their names have been solemnly revealed: Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton; Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross; and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah.
These brave soldiers met their untimely end when a drone struck their housing unit, known as a container housing unit (CHU). All three were assigned to the 718th Engineer Company, 926th Engineer Battalion, 926th Engineer Brigade, Fort Moore, Georgia.
Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, affectionately known as “Munchkin,” was just 24 years old. The attack also left at least 34 others injured. Flags in Waycross, Sanders’s hometown, were flown at half-staff in a somber tribute. Mayor Michael-Angelo James plans to hold an honorary service upon her return.
Sanders’s father, Shawn Sanders, expressed gratitude on Facebook, saying, “Our family would like to thank you for the respect given to Kennedy. Munchkin will be missed by many.” Sanders’s mother, Oneida Oliver-Sanders, shared her grief, stating, “I just can’t believe I’ll never be able to hug and kiss my baby again. Life is so unfair. I just want my baby.”
Breonna Alexsondria Moffett’s mother, in a heartfelt Facebook post, conveyed the profound sadness of losing her firstborn. She wrote, “This is one of the saddest days of my life. With a heavy heart, I have to say that my Angel, my firstborn, has gone on to be with GOD today.” She continued, expressing the enduring pain of losing her daughter and the irreplaceable void in her life.
The tragic incident occurred at a remote logistics base in northeastern Jordan, near the border with Syria. An Iran-backed militia claimed responsibility for the drone attack, marking the first time such groups have successfully targeted and killed U.S. forces. The militia groups, responsible for more than 160 attacks against U.S. troops since October 7, have faced retaliatory strikes from the Biden administration, primarily targeting infrastructure rather than militants.
