November 27, 2025
W.Va. Adjutant General message following D.C. shooting
November 26, 2025
“Today’s events have brought an extremely somber and serious tone to this Thanksgiving. Two of our West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot in our nation’s capital while performing their duties ensuring the safety and security of the citizens of the District of Columbia. This brutal attack was senseless and entirely unprovoked. In times like these, my thoughts not only linger on those brave Guardsmen but also their families, friends, and their fellow service members. I would like to extend my profound gratitude to the first responders, doctors, and nurses who cared for our members. I am thankful for the swift action taken by the courageous fellow West Virginia National Guardsmen who quickly engaged and neutralized the assailant, saving lives. Further, we are overwhelmed at the outpouring of prayers from civilian and military leaders, as well as individuals throughout West Virginia and the nation. I ask that you continue to pray and to hold your loved ones close this Thanksgiving. As Soldiers and Airmen, we defend this nation and serve our state with pride, professionalism, and patriotism. May God bless our One Guard Family, the great state of West Virginia, and the United States of America.” -Maj. Gen. Jim Seward
