Gov. Patrick Morrisey issued a formal proclamation requesting that all West Virginians observe a statewide moment of silence or prayer today at 2:15 p.m. to honor Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe and Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, the two West Virginia National Guard members who were ambushed while serving in Washington, D.C.
Morrisey has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in recognition of the passing of Spc. Beckstrom last night.
“These two West Virginia heroes were serving our country and protecting our nation’s capital when they were maliciously attacked,” Morrisey said. “Their courage and commitment to duty represent the very best of our state. I am asking every West Virginian to pause at 2:15 p.m. on Friday to pray for their families and their fellow service members.”
