Red ribbons adorned one city, while blue ribbons hung in another town — all to honor the National Guard members who were attacked in Washington this week.
A vigil was held on Friday for Specialist Sarah Beckstrom in Webster Springs, W.Va. Specialist Beckstrom died in a shooting while she was on duty in Washington, D.C.
Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who died on Thursday, was not initially excited to go to Washington, but had grown to enjoy the city. Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe remained in critical condition on Friday.
The father of one of the West Virginia National Guard members who was shot said his daughter had a “mortal wound.” A man at the other member’s home asked for prayers for his son.
