"Georgia Mourns: Fallen Soldiers Honored in Procession to Hometown"
Army Sgt. Kennedy Sanders, 24, who was killed in a drone strike in Jordan, will be laid to rest in her hometown of Waycross, Georgia, after a public viewing at C.C. McCray City Auditorium. A procession from Jacksonville International Airport to Waycross honored her, with a section of Eads Street to be renamed in her honor. President Biden posthumously promoted her and called her parents to express his condolences. Sanders was remembered as resilient and determined, with the community mourning her loss and declaring "Wear Purple Day" in her honor.
