The three U.S. soldiers killed in an unmanned enemy drone attack in Jordan on Sunday were Black military reservists assigned to the 926th Engineer Brigade based at Fort Moore, Georgia. Sgt. William Rivers, 46; Specialist Kennedy Sanders, 24; and Specialist Breonna Moffett, 23; lost their lives when the drone hit a housing facility as service members slept in the early morning hours.
 
According to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, the three fallen soldiers were in the Middle East to fight terrorism and…work for the lasting defeat of ISIS.” The attack that killed them was the first targeting American troops in Jordan during the Israel-Hamas war and the first to result in the loss of American lives.
 
Moffett and Sanders, the two youngest soldiers, enlisted in the Army Reserves after high school and became fast friends. “Breonna (Moffett) was a very smart, beautiful young woman,” said Moffett’s mother, Francine Moffett. “She always knew that the military would be part of her life and she wore her uniform proudly.”
 
Sanders was considering becoming a full-time soldier once her Army Reserve contract was fulfilled. Sanders’ mother, Oneida Oliver-Sanders said, “I just want people to remember that…even though her time was short on Earth, she lived her life to the fullest and she enjoyed her life.”
 
Sgt. Rivers, the third victim in the attack, was a married serviceman with one son. His wife Darlene says Rivers was on a classified mission and she wasn’t aware he was even in Jordan until officials knocked on her door to inform her of his death. “He just wanted to do the patriotic thing you know ever since a little boy,” said Rivers’ wife.
 
In a land that has historically treated Black people as second-class citizens, Black soldiers have fought for our freedom since the Civil War. When Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, they were officially allowed to enlist. Today, more than 700k soldiers in the U.S. armed forces identify as Black and/or Hispanic – approximately 33% of troops.
 
With gratitude and respect for our Black soldiers, we send our condolences to the Moffett, Sanders and Rivers families.
