Both Republicans and Democrats spoke up in favor of the resolution — led by West Virginia's two House lawmakers, Reps. Carol Miller, R-W.Va., and Riley Moore, R-W.Va. — in a rare moment of bipartisanship for the current Congress.
"As members of the West Virginia National Guard on duty in the nation's capital, Specialist Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Wolfe were targeted and violently assaulted with a barrage of gunfire for doing nothing less than performing their duty as a soldier and an airman," Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., said on Monday.
"Both of them sustained severe gunshot wounds during the attack. Sadly, Specialist Beckstrom succumbed to her injuries and passed away surrounded by loved ones on Thanksgiving Day. While Staff Sergeant Wolfe remains in recovery, and we wish him speedy success in that effort to be back on his feet."

Rep. Jill Tokuda, D-Hawaii, said Beckstrom's "life was far too short, but her example will endure."
"Specialist Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Wolfe represent the very best of our nation. 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," Tokuda said.
Miller called the attack "a targeted assault against United States service members."

Moore said it was "heartbreaking" to see Beckstrom's parents at her funeral in Grafton, West Virginia as a father himself.
"Watching her father just grieve in that manor is just unimaginable. It really puts you at a loss for words," he said.
The resolution, while symbolic in nature, shows Republicans and Democrats coming together in a show of unity over national tragedy.
