Miller | M001205 | miller.house.gov | miller | https://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Miller (R-WV) spoke in support of her House Resolution 923 to honor U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe of the West Virginia National Guard. The resolution passed the House of Representatives with the Senate's companion legislation, S. Res. 537, passing by unanimous consent last week. A video and full transcript of Congresswoman Miller's remarks can be found below. “Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe embody the very best of our nation’s service members. As members of the West Virginia National Guard, they chose to serve their country with courage and a clear understanding of the risks that come with wearing the uniform. On November 26th, they were targeted and shot in a cowardly attack in the streets of Washington, D.C. Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, just 20 years old, later succumbed to her injuries on Thanksgiving Day. Known for her kind spirit and love of country, Sarah’s passing is deeply felt across West Virginia and throughout our nation. Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe continues to recover from his injuries and has made remarkable progress. Thanks to exceptional medical care, the unwavering support of his loved ones, and his own determination, he has been discharged from the hospital. We are grateful for this answered prayer and are continuing to pray for him to make a full recovery. This resolution ensures that Congress formally honors their courage, sacrifice, and selfless service, and affirms that our nation will never forget those who put their lives on the line in defense of others,” said Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV). “Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe represent the very best of our state. Specialist Beckstrom’s tragic passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the immense sacrifices our service members make to protect our country and our communities. Mina and I are continuing to pray for Andy Wolfe’s recovery. The updates we have received from Andy’s family and medical team - that he is now breathing on his own, can stand with assistance, and is transitioning from acute care to inpatient rehabilitation — are truly extraordinary, and are an answer to prayers. Prayer works, and we need to keep praying for Andy’s full recovery. It’s important that we honor Sarah and Andy’s service to our nation today and reaffirm our unwavering support for their families and the entire West Virginia National Guard. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten," said Congressman Moore (R-WV). Image | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
