Vigils across West Virginia have occurred in their memory.

White House Offer

The president explained he’s proposed a visit to the White House for the parents of both members of the West Virginia Guard.

“I told them: ‘When you’re prepared, because that’s a difficult moment, arrive at the White House. We’re going to recognize Sarah,” Trump addressed the press. “And in the same way with Andrew, recover or not.”

Community Support

Attendees came together over the weekend at Webster County high school in the state to pay respects to Beckstrom.

Both she and Wolfe had been working with the state guard as part of Trump’s government program to assist public safety in the capital.

Remembering the Soldier

“She was the individual that teachers wished for. She behaved with calm resilience, a bright grin and a upbeat demeanor that encouraged people around her,” Hankins, the leader of her alma mater, told the media. “She was caring, caring and always eager to support those in need.”

Funeral details for Beckstrom are yet to be finalized.
