Specialist Beckstrom succumbed to her injuries on Thanksgiving Day and Staff Sergeant Wolfe remains in critical condition, still fighting for his life. Senators Capito and Justice have been proud to work with Representatives Carol Miller (R-W.Va.) and Riley Moore (R-W.Va.) on companion legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives. “Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe are heroes who embody the dedication, courage, and strength that define our West Virginia National Guard. This resolution honors the service and selfless sense of duty that Sarah and Andrew have modeled their entire lives and in their communities back home. We grieve alongside Sarah’s family and we pray for Andrew’s recovery. This resolution introduced in the Senate today shows that the United States Senate stands with Sarah, Andrew, and their families, and supports them during this painful time. They are not alone,” Senator Capito said. “Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe represent the very best of our nation. They were ordinary West Virginians who chose a life dedicated to extraordinary service. Specialist Beckstrom—who volunteered to work that day so others could spend Thanksgiving with their loved ones—made the ultimate sacrifice for her country. Staff Sergeant Wolfe is still fighting with the same grit and courage he’s shown his whole career. Their dedication, sacrifice, and the strength of their families embody the heart of the West Virginia National Guard and the values that hold our country together. With this resolution, we honor their service, we grieve this heartbreaking loss together, and we stand united as West Virginians and Americans against this senseless act of violence,” Senator Justice said.
