Wolfe, Beckstrom to get Purple Hearts, Hegseth says

Two West Virginia National Guard members shot near the White House in November 2025 will receive Purple Hearts for their service during a federal mission, Defense Secretary Hegseth said.

  • Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and Specialist Sarah Beckstrom of the West Virginia National Guard will receive Purple Heart medals for being attacked in Washington, D.C.
  • Beckstrom was shot and killed, while Wolfe was shot and has been recovering from his injuries.
  • They will receive the Purple Heart because they were attacked by a radical, and medals will also be given to those who responded to the incident, according to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
