This resolution honors the life, distinguished service, and ultimate sacrifice of Master Sergeant Nicole M. Amor, who was killed in the line of duty in Kuwait on March 1, 2026. It further recognizes the five other servicemembers who lost their lives in the same attack and extends the Senate's deepest sympathies and gratitude to their families.
Senate Resolution Formally Honors Master Sergeant Nicole M. Amor and Five Fallen Comrades Following 2026 Kuwait Attack
This resolution serves as an official act of remembrance for Master Sergeant Nicole M. Amor, a dedicated member of the United States Army Reserve who lost her life during a drone attack in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, on March 1, 2026. Beyond the formal recognition of her nearly 20 years of service, the resolution details her posthumous promotion from Sergeant First Class and lists the extensive decorations she earned across multiple deployments, including the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Service Medal. By documenting these specifics, the Senate creates a permanent public record of her professional legacy and her role within the 103rd Sustainment Command during Operation Epic Fury.
A Legacy of Service and Sacrifice
The resolution doesn't just check a box; it paints a picture of a career soldier and a community pillar. It specifically acknowledges Master Sergeant Amor’s previous tours in Iraq and Kuwait in 2019, highlighting a long-term commitment to service that many military families will find deeply relatable. For the average person, this underscores the reality of the 'citizen-soldier'—someone who balances a civilian life with the high-stakes responsibilities of the Army Reserve. The text also takes care to mention her role as a devoted spouse and mother, connecting her professional sacrifice to the personal loss felt by her family and neighbors.
Remembering the Fallen at Port Shuaiba
While centered on Master Sergeant Amor, the resolution also serves as a collective memorial for five other servicemembers killed in the same March 1st attack. It lists Captain Cody A. Khork, Sergeant First Class Noah L. Tietjens, Sergeant Declan J. Coady, Major Jeffrey R. O'Brien, and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan. By naming these individuals and their hometowns—ranging from Winter Haven, Florida, to Bellevue, Nebraska—the resolution acknowledges the national scope of the tragedy. It concludes with a practical directive: the Secretary of the Senate is required to transmit signed copies of the resolution to the families, ensuring that this formal expression of national gratitude reaches those most affected by the loss.
