Biden to attend dignified transfer for U.S. service members killed in Jordan
President Joe Biden will perform one of the most solemn duties of his office on Friday as he attends a dignified transfer of three American soldiers killed in Jordan on Jan. 28.
DOVER, Del. — President Joe Biden will perform one of the most solemn duties of his office Friday when he attends the dignified transfer of the three American soldiers killed in Jordan this week in a drone strike that the U.S. has attributed to Iranian-backed militant groups.
“They risked it all, and we’ll never forget the sacrifice and service to our country that the dozens of service members who were wounded in recovery now,” Biden said Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast on Capitol Hill.
The three reserve soldiers were all from Georgia: Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, 46, of Carrollton; Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24, of Waycross, who was posthumously promoted to sergeant; and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett, 23, of Savannah, who also was posthumously promoted to sergeant.
