Slain Solider Mourned

This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

The beloved Queens soldier killed in an overseas Iranian attack was remembered as a courageous leader with “a laugh that could heal your soul” — as her tearful mom declared her “a real hero” at her funeral Friday.

Throngs of mourners flooded the Calvary Assembly of God in Ozone Park to honor the life of Sgt. Angel “Sarah” Rampersad, 28, as her heartbroken loved ones said their final goodbyes.

“My daughter was a real hero, and I will miss her dearly,” Rampersad’s mother, Carol Acevedo, said between gut-wrenching sobs. .
