(PatriotsUnited.org) – Parents of an American soldier killed in a drone attack in Jordan say they have faith as President Joe Biden and the Department of Defense vow a US response.
Their daughter, Kennedy Ladon Sanders was among the three US military fatalities following Sunday’s attack by an Iranian proxy.
Speaking to the Fox & Friends news program on Tuesday, January 30th, the late soldier’s mother, Oneida Sanders, candidly addressed the loss.
The U.S. Department of Defense publicly announced and identified the names of the three servicepersons killed during the Sunday incident alongside Sanders, as Sergeant William Jerome Rivers; and Specialist Breonna Alexsondria Moffett. The three all hailed from the State of Georgia.
While Sanders’ told the program that she “would not want to see any other parent go through what we’re going through right now,” she also expressed her faith in the Biden administration to respond appropriately.
She also argued that however the Biden administration might opt to “respond” her family’s situation would remain the same, and that they would “move forward and continue to pray for those who are still there…”
She said that “whatever is decided” by the government, “will be a good decision that keeps everyone in the safest position possible.”
The early morning drone attack on Sunday targeted the logistics area situated in Tower 22 of the Jordanian Defense Network, at which some 350 U.S. Army and Air Force personnel are deployed.
The Department of Defense admitted on Tuesday that they “know” Tehran is “behind” the attack, reaffirming their previous complaints that the Iranian regime “continues to arm and equip these groups to launch these attacks,” with Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh telling reporters that the US “will certainly hold them responsible”.
Following the attack, Former President Donald Trump, who is currently the favorite to win the GOP Presidential nomination slammed the Biden administration via his Truth Social platform, wiring that the “brazen attack” on the US was an example of his rival’s “weakness and surrender.” Trump claimed that the attack would not have occurred if he were in the White House.
