WILMINGTON Del. – Governor Matt Meyer has ordered all Delaware state facilities to lower flags to half staff in honor of West Virginia Army National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. The order follows a presidential directive and remains in effect through sunset on December 4, 2025.
According to publicly released information, Beckstrom was a 20-year-old soldier assigned to the West Virginia Army National Guard’s 863rd Military Police Company. She was fatally shot while on duty in Washington D.C. on November 27. Officials say she had volunteered to remain on assignment over the holiday so other troops could be home with their families. Beckstrom grew up in Webster County, West Virginia, graduated with honors from Webster County High School in 2023, and enlisted shortly after. She was described by state leaders and community members as dedicated, ambitious, and committed to public service. State officials say the flag order reflects Delaware’s participation in the national tribute honoring her military service and sacrifice.
