Oct. 14: National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk

Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday would have been Tuesday, but after his assassination just over a month ago, it will now be a national day of remembrance.

The “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk” resolution was brought forth by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and passed unanimously in the Senate last month.

“Charlie loved our nation and its ideals, and dedicated his entire life to discussing how to make our nation better and encourage others to share and discuss their ideas to do the same,” Scott wrote in a statement. “Like our Founders, he engaged in debate not with anger, but with conviction, respect, and a deep love for this country, inspiring so many Americans to get involved and help shape the future of the nation.”

Scott also introduced a Senate bill Friday to designate Charlie Kirk Patriot Way in Washington, D.C., to honor his legacy.

Scott led Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah; Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.; Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio; and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., in introducing the Charlie Kirk Patriot Way Act.

“I’m proud to lead this effort to dedicate a street in our nation’s capital as Charlie Kirk Patriot Way – a place where every American can come to pay tribute to Charlie’s life, and a reminder to us all to continue his legacy by standing strong in what you believe: peacefully, purposefully, and proudly,” Scott wrote in a statement.

Blackburn hopes the designation inspires a generations of patriotism.

“Charlie Kirk was a patriot whose unwavering dedication to promoting American values and free speech will not be forgotten,” she wrote in a statement. “Establishing the ‘Charlie Kirk Patriot Way’ would honor his tireless efforts to inspire patriotism and uphold the values that make our nation the greatest place to live in the world.”

Moreno praised Kirk’s movement building for the last decade of his 31 years.

“Over a decade ago, Charlie shared with me his vision to inspire our young people to get involved in politics,” Moreno wrote in a statement. “What started as an idea turned into a movement that would change the course of our country.

His assassination ignited a movement, and I am proud to join my colleagues to ensure that his impact will be felt for generations to come.”

President Donald Trump, a personal friend and conservative colleague of Kirk, had announced the late youth conservative leader and Turning Point USA founder would be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest American civilian honor.

“Let me express the horror and grief so many Americans at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk have felt,” Trump said in brief remarks at the start of his 9/11 memorial speech, just hours after Kirk’s assassination. “Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.

“Our prayers are with his wonderful wife, Erika, and his beautiful children: Fantastic people they are. We miss him greatly.

“Yet, I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on.

“I’m pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie Kirk, posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”

Trump told reporters at the White House this week that the ceremony will come Tuesday night upon his return from the Middle East and the return of the Oct. 7 hostages.

“Tuesday night for Charlie Kirk, a friend of mine, a friend of all of ours, a friend of a lot of the people right here,” Trump announced.

“It’s the greatest honor. Erika, his beautiful wife, is going to be here.”

Trump noted the travel challenges after “two major stops” in the Middle East.

“We’re going to try to get back here in time for Charlie. We’re going to have a great celebration at the White House, the East Room of the White House.”
