WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has released the names of four of the six service members who have been killed in the Iran conflict.
The Department of War said the four servicemen died in a drone strike in Kuwait. All four Army Reserve soldiers were killed Sunday when a drone hit a command center in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. The strike also killed two other service members.
“These men and women all bravely volunteered to defend our country, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten,” said Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll.
The drone strike came a day after the United States and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran, which has launched retaliatory strikes. All members identified were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command in Des Moines, Iowa.
According to officials, the following Army Reserve soldiers were killed on Sunday:
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, Florida
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, Nebraska
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota
Spc. Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines,
All were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command, which provides food, fuel, water and ammunition, transport equipment and supplies.

May they rest in peace; pray they were in Christ. Prayers also for their families.
May they rest in peace and honour.
All support troops, not rangers, etc.
No less heroes in my mind. They served our country where they were called and gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Quite, chicken shiite drone strikes have expanded “war” to rear areas.
God bless their families, and prayers these 4 are all with the Lord.
RIP our heroes. Condolences to each of their families.
Honorable soldiers for freedom...may you RIP, and your families be comforted knowing your sacrifice was for good.
Amen.
SALUTE
May the rest in peace.
There’s no such thing as “front lines” any more.
May God bless and receive you, Capt. Cody A. Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, and Spc. Declan J. Coady. Amen.

Aircraft expanded war to “rear areas” a century ago.
For that matter, so did artillery.
“”The strike also killed two other service members.””
Why not explain WHY the other two are not named....If for a specific reason, at least they could mention why not!
