U.S. Sen. Rick Scott has announced a resolution honoring the legacy of Charlie Kirk by designating Oct. 14 as a National Day of Remembrance for him.
“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,” Scott said.
Kirk had visited The Villages in 2024, about one year before he was gunned down in Utah.
Congressman Jimmy Patronis of Florida is leading the companion resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“Charlie Kirk’s influence reached far beyond politics. He was a fearless defender of faith, freedom, and the principles that make America great, inspiring young people to lead with courage and conviction. On campuses nationwide, he showed that tough conversations could be met with respect and charisma. A National Day of Remembrance will carry his legacy forward, inspiring future generations to speak boldly for freedom,” Patronis said.
