Today, Congressmen Drew Ferguson (R-GA) and Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) led the Georgia Congressional Delegation in a moment of silence on the House floor, honoring Sgt. William Jerome Rivers of Carrollton, Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders of Waycross, and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett of Savannah, who were killed during an Iran-back terrorist attack in Jordan on January 28, 2024.

“Today on the House floor, we paid tribute to the heroism of three courageous Georgians, Sgt. William Rivers, Spc. Kennedy Sanders, and Spc. Breonna Moffet,” said Congressman Drew Ferguson. “All three servicemembers faithfully served our country with courage – and their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Sgt. Rivers was from the Third Congressional District of Georgia and our community is truly heartbroken by the loss. My prayers are with their families and loved ones – to whom we owe a debt of gratitude we can never repay.”

“It’s a heartbreaking time for our community, mourning the loss of three bright individuals who had their lives ahead of them,” said Congressman Carter. “Our brave servicemembers put their lives on the line every day, and we owe our freedoms and security to them. Both Spc. Sanders and Spc. Moffett were from the First Congressional District of Georgia, and we will miss them dearly. I’m glad that our heroes got the recognition they deserve on the House floor. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and the Georgia community during this time.”
