Heritage Foundation unveils tribute to late conservative leader Charlie Kirk

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

The Heritage Foundation has revealed a large banner on its Washington, D.C. headquarters to honor Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA. The 30-by-60-foot tribute includes a photo of Kirk with his wife, Erika, and one of his notable quotes: "Get married. Have children. Build a legacy. Pass down your values. Pursue the eternal. Seek true joy."

Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for America, expressed deep sorrow over Kirk's assassination earlier this month at Utah Valley University. He said, "Charlie Kirk’s assassination robbed a wife of her husband, two beautiful children of an exceptional father, The Heritage Foundation of a dear friend, and our country of its best and brightest young leader." Roberts added that while they mourn, they find solace in their Christian faith and in knowing that "death is not the end."

Roberts emphasized that despite the tragedy, the hope for America's future remains intact due to Kirk's influence. He remarked that the banner serves as both a reminder of Kirk's enduring legacy and a warning to those who might celebrate his death: "You will not deter us from victory. Our God is stronger than your malice. And we will prevail."

The Heritage Foundation continues to condemn political violence and recognizes Kirk's significant impact on the conservative movement in the United States.
