President Donald Trump, joined by First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and grieving families, participated in a solemn dignified transfer today at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

The ceremony honored six U.S. Army Reserve soldiers from the 103rd Sustainment Command, killed in an Iranian drone strike on a tactical operations center in Kuwait during the opening phase of U.S.-led operations against Iran.

The fallen service members are:

● Capt. Cody Khork
● Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens
● Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor
● Sgt. Declan Coady
● Maj. Jeffrey O'Brien
● Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan

This marks the first confirmed U.S. combat deaths in the escalating conflict, known as Operation Epic Fury. President Trump has emphasized the necessity of the mission to counter Iranian threats while vowing to honor the sacrifices and minimize further American losses.
