They had families. They had lives. </p><p>This is who we lost.</p><p>Six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers were killed when an Iranian drone struck </p><p>a command center at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait on March 2, 2026 — just one day </p><p>after the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran.</p><p>They received no warning. No siren. The building was struck directly at </p><p>9 a.m. local time. By the time the dust settled, six Americans were gone.</p><p>🎖️ The Fallen:</p><p>✅ Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 — Winter Haven, Florida</p><p>✅ Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 — Bellevue, Nebraska</p><p>✅ Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 — White Bear Lake, Minnesota</p><p>✅ Spc. Declan J. Coady, 20 — West Des Moines, Iowa</p><p>✅ Maj. Jeffrey O'Brien, 45</p><p>✅ Chief Warrant Officer Robert Marzan</p><p>All six were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command — an Army Reserve </p><p>unit out of Iowa. None of them were frontline combat troops. They were </p><p>there to SUPPORT the mission. And they paid the ultimate price.</p><p>💔 Their Stories:</p><p>— Nicole Amor was days away from coming home. Her husband Joey said:</p><p> "You don't go to Kuwait thinking something's going to happen."</p><p>— Noah Tietjens was a black belt martial arts instructor and devoted </p><p> father. His 12-year-old son is now without a dad.</p><p>— Declan Coady, just 20 years old, had JUST been recommended for a </p><p> promotion. He received it posthumously.</p><p>President Trump has warned more casualties are likely before </p><p>Operation Epic Fury ends. He called the conflict expected to last </p><p>"four to five weeks — but we have capability to go far longer."</p><p>These six soldiers deserve to be more than a number in a news ticker.</p><p></p>
