Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was counting down the hours until she could finally hug her husband and children again. Instead of a homecoming celebration, her family is now grappling with a heartbreaking reality that feels like a cruel twist of fate.The 39-year-old soldier from White Bear Lake was among those killed during military strikes in the Middle East last weekend. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, Nicole lost her life on Sunday in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, during an unmanned aircraft system attack.She wasn’t just a soldier; she was a mother, a wife, and an avid gardener who loved making salsa with her teenage son. Now, her husband, Joey Amor, is sharing the chilling details of the days leading up to the tragedy.

In a revelation that is raising serious questions, Joey disclosed that his wife had been moved just one week before the attack. She was relocated off-base to a building resembling a shipping container that reportedly had zero defenses.Military officials were apparently dispersing troops into smaller groups because they feared the main base was a target. Ironically, the move intended to keep them safe may have placed them in the direct path of an Iranian weapon that pierced through fortifications.Even more unsettling is the report that some officials had internal discussions about the site’s safety. Some felt the location concentrated too many troops in a spot that was virtually impossible to defend.
