West Virginia communities and officials are honoring the two members of the state’s National Guard who were shot in Washington, D.C. last week, lauding their dedication to serving their country.
Army Guard Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died from her wounds on Thanksgiving Day.
Air Guard Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains in critical condition, but yesterday, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey said Wolfe “showed positive signs by giving a thumbs-up that he could hear a nurse’s question and wiggling his toes.”
