Private Quinton Ezeagwula, the young soldier who survived the Arkansas terror attack committed by the Islamist Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, is shocked that people are calling him a hero, but his mother, Sonja Ezeagwula says that he's a good kid who beat the odds in many ways.
She said her son stayed away from gangs and drugs as a youth and was doing something positive. "He was supposed to have been a statistic from a dysfunctional family. Look what happened."
The Ezeagwulas also think the world of the late Private William Long's family and Private Ezeagwula's mother is
"overwhelmed with how much love Americans have for this country. I really am. And I'm glad I got a chance to see it."
She said her family is Christian, "and we believe when something happens, God will turn it around," and good will come of it.
Amen.
