The U.S. Army Reserve posthumously promoted three soldiers in the wake of a drone attack, attributed to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, that took place at Tower 22 in Jordan on Jan. 28.
Spc. Kennedy Sanders and Spc. Breonna Moffett, who were killed in the attack were raised to the rank of sergeant.
Sgt. William Rivers, who was also killed in the attack, was promoted to staff sergeant.
“This progression recognizes their courage, honor, and fidelity in service to this great nation,” a Reserve spokesperson told Army Times. “Though we mourn the tragic loss of these soldiers, we hope this recognition provides some comfort to their families and shows our commitment to remembering their legacies of loyal service.”
