Arrr! The brave lads of the U.S. did gather in Baghdad to pay their respects to the fallen comrades who met their fate in a drone attack in Jordan. May they rest in Davy Jones' locker, and may their spirits find eternal peace on the high seas. Aye, me hearties!
In Baghdad, Iraq, U.S. Military personnel held a Memorial Day service to honor three soldiers killed in a drone attack in Jordan. The ceremony took place at the Union III base in the Green Zone. Staff Sgt. William Rivers, Sgt. Kennedy Sanders, and Sgt. Breonna Moffett were killed in the attack by an Iranian proxy group at Tower 22 in Jordan, where they were stationed.The soldiers were supporting the mission to defeat ISIS and were part of a small U.S. outpost near the Syria border. The camp has seen a decrease in population due to lack of supplies. The base initially served as a Jordanian border observation outpost and saw an increased U.S. presence after American forces entered Syria in 2015.Rivers, Sanders, and Moffett were all part of the 718th Engineer Company, based in Fort Moore, Georgia. The soldiers' sacrifice was remembered and honored by their fellow service members at the Memorial Day service in Baghdad.
