唐纳德·特朗普总统在周二晚间的国情咨文演讲中，向两名国民警卫队成员颁发了紫心勋章，其中一人不幸在去年华盛顿特区的执勤期间被枪手伏击身亡，另一人重伤幸存。这两名成员分别是陆军中士安德鲁·沃尔夫（Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe）和已故陆军 Specialist Sarah Beckstrom。
特朗普在国情咨文演讲的一部分中，向沃尔夫和20岁的贝克斯特罗姆（其因伤势不治身亡）的父母表示了敬意。
“我将请备受尊敬的詹姆斯·西沃德将军（General James Seward）向Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe和Sarah Beckstrom的伟大家人颁发由我们已故的伟大总统乔治·华盛顿亲自创立的勋章。”特朗普说道，“它被称为紫心勋章。我们爱你们所有人。”
当特朗普发表讲话时，西弗吉尼亚国民警卫队司令詹姆斯·“吉姆”·D·西沃德少将（Major General James “Jim” D. Seward）在国会大厦上方的观礼席上，向贝克斯特罗姆的父母颁发了她的勋章，并为沃尔夫中士别上了紫心勋章。

“你的女儿是一位真正的美国爱国者，”特朗普对贝克斯特罗姆的父母说，“我们会非常想念她。”
“她是个很棒的人，”特朗普说道，“我看到了关于她的报道。他们从未见过这样的事。非常抱歉。”
在对沃尔夫讲话时，特朗普说：“医生们以为安德鲁已经不行了，但他的母亲说，‘不，不，总统先生，安德鲁会好起来的。他会挺过来的。’我从未见过这样的事。”
西弗吉尼亚州州长帕特里克·莫里西（Patrick Morrisey）在一份声明中赞扬了他们所获的荣誉，称这是一个“庄严而难忘的时刻，确保了他们的勇气和牺牲不仅得到西弗吉尼亚州的认可，也得到了整个国家的认可。”

20岁的贝克斯特罗姆和24岁的沃尔夫于去年11月在白宫附近街区被一名枪手枪击，联邦当局正在调查这起事件是否为恐怖袭击。
据调查，这名涉嫌的枪手是一名阿富汗难民，2021年美军从喀布尔撤军期间，他作为“盟军欢迎行动”（Operation Allies Welcome）的一部分来到美国。

众议院一致通过了一项决议，表彰这两名国民警卫队成员。
“贝克斯特罗姆 Specialist和沃尔夫中士代表了我们国家最优秀的一面，”夏威夷州民主党众议员 Jill Tokuda 当时表示。
“他们是被服务、同情心和责任感驱使的年轻美国人。他们愿意挺身而出为社区和国家服务，体现了军事和公共服务的最高理想。”

President Donald Trump, during his Tuesday night State of the Union address, awarded the Purple Heart to Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and deceased Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, two National Guard members who were critically injured and fatally shot by a gunman who ambushed them while on duty last year in Washington, D.C.
Trump used a portion of his State of the Union address to acknowledge Wolfe and the parents of 20-year-old Beckstrom, who did not survive her injuries.
“I’m going to ask a highly respected General James Seward to present Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe and the great family of Sarah Beckstrom, with the award created by our late, great president, George Washington himself,” Trump said. “It’s called the Purple Heart. We love you all.”
As Trump spoke, Major General James “Jim” D. Seward, Adjutant General of the West Virginia National Guard, presented Specialist Beckstrom’s medal to her parents and pinned the Purple Heart on Staff Sergeant Wolfe in the viewing gallery above.

“Your daughter was a true American patriot,” Trump told Beckstrom’s parents, “and she will be greatly missed.”
“She was a great person,” Trump said. “I saw reports on her. They’ve never seen anything like it. So sorry.”
Addressing Wolfe, Trump said, “The doctors thought that Andrew was gone, but his mother said, ‘No, no, Mr. President, Andrew will be fine. He’s going to make it.’ I’ve never seen anything like it.”
West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey praised their award in a statement, describing the award as a “solemn and unforgettable moment, one that ensured their courage and sacrifice were honored not only by West Virginia but also before the entire nation.”

Beckstrom, 20, and Wolfe, 24, were both shot by a gunman just blocks from the White House last November, in what federal authorities are investigating as a terror attack.
The alleged shooter is an Afghan refugee who came to the U.S. as part of Operation Allies Welcome during the military’s withdrawal from Kabul in 2021.

The House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution honoring the two National Guard members.
“Spc. Beckstrom and Staff Sgt. Wolfe represent the very best of our nation,” Rep. Jill Tokuda, D-Hawaii, said at the time.
“Young Americans driven by service, compassion, and a sense of duty. Their willingness to step forward to serve their communities and their country reflects the highest ideals of military and public service.”
