She gave much of her life to her state and public service and wanted to serve her country as an FBI agent. I am asking President Trump to have flags lowered to half staff in her honor. Being that she was on duty so close to the White House and on a mission authorized by President Trump, as a West Virginia National Guard officer, it seems appropriate that she be honored in this way in her memory.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:52:45Z |
