Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike at a command center in Kuwait “She was almost home,” her husband, Joey Amor, said from their home in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, on Tuesday. “You don’t go to Kuwait thinking something’s going to happen, and for her to be one of the first – it hurts.”Amor, 39, was an avid gardener who enjoyed making salsa from the peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son, a senior in high school. She also enjoyed rollerblading and bicycling with her fourth-grade daughter. A week before the drone attack, Amor was moved off-base to a shipping container-style building that had no defenses, Joey Amor said.“They were dispersing because they were in fear that the base they were on was going to get attacked and they felt it was safer in smaller groups in separate places,” he said.He last spoke to her about two hours before she was killed. He said she was working long shifts and they had been messaging about her tripping and falling the night before.Amor was assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, an Army Reserve unit out of Iowa. She enlisted in the National Guard as an automated logistics specialist in 2005, before transferring to the Army Reserve a year later, the U.S. Army Reserve said in a news release. Amor had previously deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in 2019.; two soldiers haven't yet been publicly identified.
