"We are absolutely shocked by this. He is just an average kid who came from a good family upbringing. We are all hoping it's some kind of mistake," said Lou Ronghi Jr., brother of Army Staff Sgt. Frank Ronghi. "No matter what happens, our hearts go out to the family of that little girl." Sgt. Ronghi's arrest for allegedly molesting and murdering the girl in Kosovo threatens to erode the trust between NATO forces and the people they were sent to protect. The highlight of Ronghi's six-month tour of duty came Nov. 22, when he called his mother, Phyllis, at 6:30 a.m. to tell her he'd been pulled from the field to sing for Clinton and daughter Chelsea, who were on a Thanksgiving tour of Camp Bondsteel, the U.S. military headquarters in Kosovo. Ronghi told his mom that he joked to the president: "Wayne Newton couldn't be here, so you got me instead," his brother recalled. His surprised mom replied, "You didn't say that to the president of the United States?!" and the soldier said, "Oh, yes, I did," said brother Lou. The GI sent his family photographs of the encounter with Clinton that his parents now proudly display in their Niles, Ohio, home. "He had a great voice -- a voice like Frank Sinatra," Lou said. Sgt. Ronghi, a divorced 12-year Army veteran who served in Operation Desert Storm, as well as in Egypt and Haiti, had re-enlisted a year ago. He is now in an Army prison in Mannheim, Germany, awaiting the results of a military investigation into the death of Merite Shabiu, whose body was discovered outside the town of Vitina on Sunday. Lou Ronghi, a Niles cop, said his brother frequently called and wrote home from Kosovo, where he was serving a six-month tour with the 504th Parachute Regiment. "There were no problems at all. At first, he was a little hesitant about going. Then he told us he was getting used to it," Lou told The Post. News that an accused murderer came in contact with the president and his daughter caught the White House and the Pentagon by surprise last night. David Leavy, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said the president's concern is that "the tragic incident doesn't overshadow all the good work of the men and women in the armed forces in Kosovo." ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
