Funerals were held in southeast Georgia for two young Army Reserve soldiers who tragically lost their lives in a drone attack while deployed to the Middle East. The packed 1,200-seat auditorium of Ware County Middle School in Waycross solemnly hosted the service for 24-year-old Sgt. Kennedy Sanders.

Known for her infectious smile, Sanders was also remembered as a former point guard for Ware County High's Lady Gators, showcasing pure joy both on and off the basketball court.
