It took a lot of courage for the family of Angel Sarah Rampersad to refuse to allow Mayor Mamdani to speak at her funeral on Friday.
The 28-year-old US Army staff sergeant from Queens was killed on July 17, 2026, in an Iranian missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan where she was stationed as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
Rampersad lost her life in a battle against the world’s largest terrorist regime, whose proxy Hamas Mamdani tacitly supports.
She gave her life for the country she loves and Mamdani clearly does not.
