Trump Awards Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom On What Would Have Been His 32nd birthday!
Dear Friends,
The Medal of Freedom award is the highest civilian honor an individual can receive. Charlie Kirk was awarded this honor by President Trump post his assassination on October 14th which would have been the icon’s 32nd birthday. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to individuals whom Presidents determine have made exceptional contributions to our country. The ceremony was held in the Rose Garden at the White House . Indeed this humble writer cannot say enough about the exceptional and natural ability of this selfless person who was tragically assassinated on September 10th while attending a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University’s campus.
There is no doubt Kirk’s warm persona combined with his knowledge of the issues along with his faith in God, had much to do with Trump’s election. No doubt he swung many college students to vote for the Trump/Vance campaign.
May he rest in peace and may the movement he started only remain and grow stronger.
