Nicole Amor

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, was a U.S. Army Reserve soldier. She is newsworthy due to her death in a drone strike in Kuwait, which occurred during a joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran in March 2026. The Pentagon identified her as one of six U.S. soldiers killed in the attack. Her remains were returned to the U.S. in a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base, attended by former President Donald Trump, who expressed condolences to the families of the fallen. News reports remember Amor and her fellow soldiers as devoted parents and reservists. The event highlights the human cost of the escalating conflict in the Middle East and the ongoing U.S. military involvement in the region.
