In the final hours before tragedy struck, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was doing something ordinary—texting her husband about everyday life. For her family, those simple messages would become their last connection.
Nicole Amor, 39, from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, was among six American service members killed in a reported drone strike at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. According to her husband, Joey Amor, they had exchanged messages just hours earlier. The conversation was routine, the kind couples have when one partner is deployed and counting the days until coming home.
“She was almost home,” he later told reporters. When morning came, the messages stopped.
Nicole had spent years serving in military logistics, ensuring that troops had the supplies and support they needed in operational zones. She first joined the Minnesota National Guard in 2005 as an automated logistics specialist before transferring to the U.S. Army Reserve the following year. Her work with the 103rd Sustainment Command took her to deployments in both Kuwait and Iraq.
