The Reserve Organization of America is saddened by the death of three U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers killed serving the nation, Sunday, January 28, on a U.S. military base in Jordan, and we express our deepest sympathy to their families, friends, and loved ones.
Military officials released the names of these three brave patriots and described their duty; that gave us an insight into the character and achievements of these Soldiers of the Army Reserve’s 718 Engineer Company.
Sgt. William J. Rivers, 46, served in the Army Reserve as an interior electrician. Among his awards and decorations are the Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.
Spc. Kennedy L. Sanders, 24, served in the Army Reserve as a horizontal construction engineer. Her awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.
Spc. Breonna A. Moffett, 23, served in the Army Reserve as a horizontal construction engineer. Her awards include the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon.
The three fallen Citizen-Warriors are true patriots and will always be heroes to this nation. More than 40 other service members were also injured in the attack. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and loved ones as they deal with this tragedy. ROA will monitor the situation as the situation develops.
