It is with profound sadness that we mourn the tragic loss of Sergeant William Jerome Rivers , a member of our Willingboro community and a dedicated serviceman . Sergeant Rivers was one of three United States Service members tragically killed in a drone attack in Jordan on Sunday .
Sergeant Rivers exemplified the highest ideals of service , bravery , and sacrifice . His unwavering commitment to our country and selfless dedication to protecting our freedoms will forever be remembered and cherished by all .
As we honor his memory , let us also extend our deepest condolences to his family , friends , and fellow service members . Their loss is immeasurable , and our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time .
Though Sergeant Rivers may no longer walk among us , his legacy will endure as a beacon of strength , courage , and patriotism . We will forever be grateful for his service and his sacrifice .
In recognition of his service , Governor Murphy will sign an executive order to lower flags to half - staffed this week in honor of Sergeant Rivers .
May Sergeant Rivers ' soul rest in peace .
