Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

"Today, New York mourns the loss of one of our own, Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad of Ozone Park, who is believed to have been killed in action while serving our nation on July 17.

"My heart is with her family, loved ones and the soldiers who stood beside her as they grieve this unimaginable loss.

"Sgt. Rampersad lived a life of courage and selflessness. New York, and our nation, are safer because of brave Americans like her who answer the call to serve. May we honor her memory, remember her sacrifice and keep all who loved her in our prayers."
