THE HERO

Shannon Kent was from upstate New York. She was assigned to Cryptologic Warfare Activity 66, based out of Fort Meade, Maryland. Kent enlisted on Dec. 11, 2003. She was 35 years old.

Kent is the first U.S. female service member killed in combat against ISIS since the U.S.-led coalition began battling the terror group in 2014.

She was a recipient of two Joint Service Commendation Medals, the Navy/Marine Corps Commendation Medal, an Army Commendation Medal, and a Joint Service Achievement Medal.
