“GOODBYE, BROTHER!” — YOUNGEST U.S. SOLDIER KILLED IN KUWAIT DRONE STRIKE MADE ONE FINAL CALL HOME The family of Declan Coady, the youngest of the six American service members killed in the recent attack in Kuwait, is sharing the heartbreaking story of the final conversation he had just hours before his death. According to relatives, Coady spoke with his brother in what seemed like a normal call at the time — a quick check-in between siblings, the kind of conversation that had happened countless times during his deployment. But near the end of the call, he said something simple that would later carry an entirely different weight: “Goodbye, brother.” At the time, the words didn’t seem unusual, and the conversation ended like many others before it. Only later, after news broke of the deadly drone strike believed to be linked to Iran, did the family realize that those few words would become the final thing they would ever hear from him. The attack, which claimed the lives of six U.S. soldiers, has sent shockwaves through military communities and across the country. As loved ones now remember the young service member’s life, that last phone call has become one of the most emotional details emerging from the tragedy — a quiet moment between brothers that no one realized would be their final goodbye.
