Navy Chief Cryptologic Technician Shannon Kent, a 35-year-old mother of two, became the first female Navy service member fatality attributed to ISIS since the U.S.-led coalition went into Syria in 2014. Kent was one of four Americans, including Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jonathan Farmer and two civilians, among the 16 people killed when the lone terrorist targeted troops on routine patrol in the town Manbij. “She was a rock star, an outstanding chief petty officer, and leader to many in the Navy Information Warfare Community,” said Cmdr. Joseph Harrison with the Commanding Officer of Cryptologic Warfare Activity 66, where Kent was assigned when the command launched five months ago. Kent, based at Fort Meade in Maryland, lived there with her husband and two kids. “Chief Petty Officer Kent stepped up to serve her country and dedicated herself to a life of service, following in the footsteps of her father Colonel Stephen J. Smith of the State Police,” said Gov. Cuomo in a statement. “We owe her our eternal gratitude for her selfless dedication and sacrifice.”
Kent was 35 (number of reps) at the time of death, was one of the 16 killed that day (116 calories) and left behind two children (broken into two parts).
