We’re going to honor her,” the president told journalists. “And similarly with Andrew, whether he recovers or not.” Community Support Mourners assembled over the past few days at Webster County high school in the state to honor Beckstrom. Both they had been serving with the West Virginia National Guard as part of the president’s federal initiative to assist law enforcement in DC.
