Senate unanimously declares Oct 14 as 'National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk'

( Post Millennial )

The US Senate voted unanimously on Thurs to designate October 14, 2025, the birthday of Charlie Kirk, as the “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”

The resolution, introduced by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), honors the legendary conservative activist as a champion of free speech, civil dialogue, and faith. Many lawmakers praised Kirk’s work in his efforts to bring civic engagement, defending constitutional principles, and inspiring a new gen of young leaders.

When introducing the resolution on Monday, Scott said: “Charlie was a magnetic leader, a loving father and husband, and a friend and inspiration to so many. His loss is devastating, and I’ll always cherish the friendship I had with him. Charlie loved our nation and its founding principles and believed deeply in his faith, in his family, and in beauty of ideas and discussion.

"He lived with purpose and conviction, never shying away from hard truths and hard conversations, and always believing that the strength of our ideas and our faith could bring people together. Charlie worked to make our nation a better place in his 31 years before he was lost in an evil act of political violence, and will leave a lasting legacy on our nation.

"We know what Charlie would want us to do: he’d want us to stand strong by the ideas we believe in, have discussions, carry on with hope, strength and courage, and look to God for guidance. I am proud to lead a resolution honoring Charlie’s legacy as an American patriot by designating October 14th, what would have been his 32nd birthday, as National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk – a day to come together, pray, and celebrate Charlie’s impact on the nation.”

Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA, was remembered in the resolution for creating opportunities for civic education and youth leadership, while advancing the principles of liberty and democracy across the United States.

October 14 would have marked Kirk’s 32nd birthday. He was assassinated on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University.
