“CAN YOU COME HOME WITH ME, MOM?” — THE FINAL WORDS A SOLDIER’S CHILDREN SAID BEFORE THEIR MOTHER WAS KILLED IN THE IRAN WAR Just days before she was supposed to return home to Minnesota, U.S. Army Reserve Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor — a 39-year-old mother of two — spoke with her husband during what seemed like an ordinary conversation while she was deployed overseas. That night, the two exchanged light messages about her long shifts and even joked about a small fall she had taken the night before, unaware it would be their final conversation. Hours later, everything changed when a drone strike hit the area where she was stationed, taking the lives of several American service members. Back home, her children had been waiting for the moment their mother would finally walk through the door again. According to family members, shortly before the devastating news arrived, one of the children said something simple about what they planned to do with their mom when she returned — a few innocent words that left everyone in the room silent once the tragedy unfolded. Those present say the sentence was heartbreakingly ordinary, yet it has since become the moment the family keeps replaying in their minds. The exact words have only been partially shared, but many who heard them say they capture the true cost of war in a way nothing else could.
