Rampersad Killed in Iranian Strike on Jordan Base
US Army Sgt Angel Rampersad, 28, of New York, was killed in the Iranian missile strike on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan and the Pentagon updated her status to believed deceased as part of ongoing identification efforts. Family and friends remember her as a social butterfly with a passion for travel, and her dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base was accompanied by tributes from national leaders and military officials.
