Heartfelt details have emerged about the final hours of Nicole Amor, one of six American service members killed in a reported drone strike in Kuwait. Amor, 39, was assigned to the Army Reserve’s 103rd Sustainment Command and was based at Port Shuaiba at the time of the incident. According to her family, she had been looking forward to returning home to White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and had spoken with her husband only hours before the strike.
Her husband, Joey Amor, said the couple exchanged text messages the night before and that he did not hear back from her the following morning. Family members shared that she had recently been moved from the main base to another location as part of precautionary security measures. Officials have not released extensive details about the circumstances of the attack, and an investigation is ongoing.
Amor joined the National Guard in 2005 as an automated logistics specialist before transferring to the Army Reserve in 2006. She previously served overseas in Kuwait and Iraq. In her military role, she supported logistics operations to help ensure deployed troops had necessary supplies and equipment. At home, her family remembers her as a devoted mother who enjoyed gardening, cooking, rollerblading, and spending time with her children.
Others who died in the incident include Cody Khork, Noah Tietjens and Declan Coady. The U.S. Department of Defense has not yet released the names of the remaining two service members. Officials have expressed condolences to the families as the military continues to review the events surrounding the strike.
