President Donald Trump will posthumously award Charlie Kirk, the late co-founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday, which would have marked his 32nd birthday.
Kirk was assassinated on September 10 while attending a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University.

Supporters and pastors praised Kirk’s dedication to faith, family, and the Constitution.
TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet called him “the very best of America,” while Trump hailed him as “a giant of his generation and a champion of liberty.”
Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, has since taken over as CEO of TPUSA. Pastor Rob McCoy described Kirk’s death as “the ultimate sacrifice” for freedom.
The White House ceremony follows Trump’s return from the Middle East after announcing an end to the Gaza war.
Kirk’s colleagues vowed to continue his mission of inspiring young conservatives and strengthening America’s faith-based values.
