Slain National Guardswoman Sarah Beckstrom’s Marine former boyfriend was among the stricken mourners at a weekend memorial service for her at their old high school.
Adam Carr, who was Beckstrom’s high-school sweetheart, joined about 150 people at the touching vigil and remembrance ceremony Saturday at Webster County Regional High School in Cowan, W.Va. — not far from her tiny hometown of about 700 residents, Webster Springs, which lowered its flags to half-staff in her honor.
Beckstrom, 20, was gunned down by an Afghan national while patrolling the streets of DC last week.
Carr — who has described her as a caring person who would “do anything” for anyone who needed it — signed the guestbook alongside his brother, Bradlee Short, and father David Carr ahead of the service.
