  Expressing support for the designation of October 14, 2025, as the 
           ``National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk''.

Whereas Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech, civil dialogue, and faith;
Whereas Mr. Kirk consistently promoted the values of individual liberty, open 
        debate, the importance of civic engagement, and the defense of 
        constitutional principles;
Whereas Charlie Kirk was recognized as one of the leading voices among young 
        leaders in the United States, creating opportunities for civic 
        education, fostering youth leadership, and promoting principles of 
        liberty and democracy across the United States;
Whereas Charlie Kirk was the founder and executive director of Turning Point 
        USA, a nonprofit organization of thousands of chapters across the United 
        States dedicated to educating students about the principles of freedom, 
        free markets, and limited government;
Whereas Charlie Kirk authored multiple national best-selling books, that engage 
        readers in critical conversations about civics, culture, and the future 
        of the United States;
Whereas, through Mr. Kirk's writing, public speaking, and media presence, 
        Charlie Kirk reached millions of United States citizens, inspiring the 
        next generation to become active participants in civic life;
Whereas Mr. Kirk's life's work has contributed to strengthening public 
        discourse, defending constitutional principles, and fostering active 
        citizenship; and
Whereas Mr. Kirk's life work, especially his efforts to bring these American 
        ideals to life on college campuses in the United States, cost him his 
        life by means of an assassin's bullet on September 10, 2025: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of October 14, 2025, as the 
        ``National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk'';
            (2) recognizes Charlie Kirk for his contributions to civic 
        education and public service; and
            (3) encourages educational institutions, civic 
        organizations, and citizens across the United States to observe 
        this day with appropriate programs, activities, prayers, and 
        ceremonies that promote civic engagement and the principles of 
        faith, liberty, and democracy that Charlie Kirk championed.
                                 <all>
