The West Virginia National Guard is thanking Americans for their continued prayer for Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, sharing in an update that he is moving closer towards recovery after showing ability to move and showing more signs of responsiveness.
Wolfe was one of two service members shot the night before Thanksgiving in Washington, D.C. by a 29-year-old Afghan national, federal authorities said.
West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom who was on duty with Wolfe, was tragically killed.
However, Wolfe now appears to be on the road to a surprising recovery. President Trump announced last night, “Today I got a call that he got up from bed. Do you believe that? He got up. He got up!”

“Now, he didn’t speak,” Trump added. “He’s not ready for that yet. I mean, he got hit in the head.”
The West Virginia National Guard medical staff provided an update as well on Tuesday, about Wolfe’s progress.
“Yesterday his rehab team had him sitting up on his bed with his feet off the side. On command he straightened his back and sat up straight and raised his head,” reads the statement.
It continues, “Last night mom was near the head of the bed and Andy put his arm around her neck and patted her on the back of the head. He was comforting his mom and I think telling her that he was coming back to them.”
“This morning his nurse was talking to him and he smiled back at the nurse,” the report added. “A Christmas miracle is happening. Thank you to all for your continued prayers.”
