The U.S. Senate has introduced a resolution to recognize Charlie Kirk’s birthday as the “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a student Q&A session at Utah Valley University on September 10. President Donald Trump responded to the assassination by calling for a federal crackdown on “vicious” left-wing extremism.
The resolution, led by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), cites Kirk’s work and influence on civic education and youth leadership.
“Whereas Mr. Kirk consistently promoted the values of individual liberty, open debate, the importance of civic engagement, and the defense of constitutional principles,” the Senate Resolution by Rick Scott, read.
“Charlie Kirk was recognized as one of the leading voices among young leaders in the United States, creating opportunities for civic education, fostering youth leadership, and promoting principles of liberty and democracy across the United States,” the resolution says.
Scott described Kirk as “a magnetic leader, a loving father and husband, and a friend and inspiration to so many,” adding, “Charlie loved our nation and its founding principles and believed deeply in his faith, in his family, and in the beauty of ideas and discussion.”
Across the country, tributes to Kirk continue.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, nine NFL teams held moments of silence or other recognitions during games, including the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and New Orleans Saints. The Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, and Arizona Cardinals also participated.
