She was only days away from going home… but war took everything. Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39 — a mother of two — was among the U.S. service members killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait. What makes the story even more heartbreaking is that she was just about to complete her deployment and return home to reunite with her family. Her husband said that only hours before the attack, the two were still texting each other as usual. By the next morning… her messages were never answered again. Back home in Minnesota, Nicole was more than a soldier. She was a mother who loved growing vegetables in the backyard, making salsa with her son, and roller skating with her young daughter. An ordinary life — now left only in memories. War is often discussed in terms of strategy and politics. But when bombs fall, the first to bear the cost are the soldiers — and the families waiting for them to come home. Nicole’s final moments before the attack — and the detail that has left her family most devastated — are told in full in the article.
