Members of Congress and the community are paying tribute to Sgt. Kennedy Sanders, who was tragically killed in a drone attack in Jordan, by wearing purple ribbons. The homage extends to her lying in honor at the Waycross City Auditorium in her hometown of Waycross, GA, until 8 p.m. The gesture of remembrance is a testament to her service and sacrifice for the country. Additionally, funerals were held in southeast Georgia for two Army Reserve soldiers, close friends of Sgt. Sanders, including 23-year-old Savannahian Sgt. Breonna Moffett, who were also killed in the same drone attack. The community's outpouring of support reflects the deep impact of their loss.
