On September 20th, a public remembrance vigil was held in Rockville, Maryland to honor Charlie Kirk. The event was sponsored by the Montgomery County Republican Party (MCGOP), and the Potomac Woman’s Republican Club (PWRC).
The event brought together nearly 300 of Charlie’s supporters, followers, and community members to reflect on his contributions and celebrate the values he championed.
Charlie’s life was ended by an assassin’s bullet during an event at Utah Valley University in what authorities have described as a politically motivated assassination.
Charlie Kirk was a man of unwavering faith, a father, a husband, a son and patriot who dedicated his life to America.
Charlie Kirk was more than a strong voice in the conservative movement, he was a champion for free speech, a leader who rallied the youth, and a man who believed deeply in his convictions. We remember him not only for what he said, but how he said it: passionately, boldly, but always ready to listen.
Charlie worked to give young people a platform to engage, debate, and speak out for what they believed in. His goal was to engage in thoughtful discourse, to cultivate courage, to encourage conviction, and to strengthen the public square through intellectually honest dialogue.
Charlie Kirk was laid to rest on Sunday, September 21, 2025. His ceremony was watched by millions all over the world. The tributes were amazing.
Charlie’s challenge to all of us was to rise above the noise, concentrate on facts, to exercise speech even when it’s hard, and to affirm truth with both compassion and resolve.
With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, America has lost a powerful voice for good. He had a profound impact on all Americans, particularly the young. I am reminded of the quote.
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible sense of resolve.”
I offer that the political assassination Charlie Kirk has awakened all of us and that we have the duty to carry on Charlie’s message.
As Charlie said: It's bigger than you, I want you to remember that... It's bigger than me - you are here to make somebody else's life better, in the pursuit of liberty & freedom.

We are all Charlie now….
