In response to the death of Sergeant Angel Rampersad, an Ozone Park native killed at a military base in Jordan, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani released the following statement:
"We mourn the loss of Sgt. Angel Rampersad, an Ozone Park native who was killed at a military base in Jordan while serving our country.
"Sgt. Rampersad's courage and sacrifice will be remembered not just in Queens, but across all five boroughs. My deepest condolences are with her family, loved ones, and all those grieving this profound loss.
"For so many New Yorkers, wars overseas are never distant-they are felt here at home. The sacrifices made by service members and their families are a constant reminder of this.
"We are forever grateful for their service and will work every day to honor it."
