Senator Capido to introduce resolution honoring two West Virginia National Guard members
Summary

Senator Capido described the lives and service of two West Virginia National Guard members and said she and Senator Justice will introduce a resolution to honor them.
Capido said Sarah Beckram, identified in the transcript as 20 years old and from Webster Springs, attended Webster High School and volunteered on Thanksgiving. She described Beckram as "a bright sunshine ray of life" known to neighbors and classmates. Capido also described Andrew Wolf, identified as 24 and from Inwood in Berkeley County, who joined the Guard early and "wanted to serve his country." Capido said she spoke with Wolf's mother, who told her, "Pray, pray hard," and Capido asked colleagues and the nation to keep the families in their prayers.
Capido said the two Guardsmen were ambushed in Washington, D.C., while performing duties to help keep streets safe; she and Senator Justice plan to file a resolution honoring them the following day. The transcript records expressions of sympathy from other speakers but does not record a formal introduction of the resolution or a vote.
The remarks were delivered during a period the transcript identifies as an exchange of condolences; the transcript supplies biographical details reported by Capido but does not provide outside confirmation of those details within the same record.
