Heartbreaking details now emerge about her last hours in life.

Spoke just hours before the strike

One of the American service members killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait was only days away from returning to her family, according to her grieving loved ones.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, a mother from White Bear Lake, Minnesota, was eagerly anticipating her homecoming before she became one of six U.S. soldiers killed at Port Shuaiba on Sunday.

“She was almost home,” her heartbroken husband, Joey Amor, told CBS and added:

“You don’t go to Kuwait thinking something’s going to happen, and for her to be one of the first – it hurts.”
