A little over a week after Charlie Kirk´s slaying left many in the country shellshocked and others angry and frustrated, the U.S. Senate declared Oct. 14 as a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”
October 14 is the birthdate of Kirk, who was killed last week when a gunman struck him in the neck when he was holding an event in Utah. The conservative commentator was answering a question in front of a crowd about mass shootings when he was murdered.
Senate officials said the new resolution allocates the day as a chance for “Americans to reflect on Kirk’s contributions to public debate and civic engagement,” according to a report by Fox News.

Kirk was also acknowledged by the Senate resolution for his contributions to public service and civic education. The motion is geared toward encouraging educational institutions, civic organizations, and citizens across the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, activities, prayers, and ceremonies that promote civic engagement and the principles of faith, liberty, and democracy—all virtues that Kirk championed.
“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,” said Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. He first announced the designation of the resolution on Sept. 16 and said Kirk was a “magnetic leader, a loving father and husband, and a friend and inspiration to so many.”
