Observing the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service: A Guide
Remembering Charlie Kirk: A Memorial Service at State Farm Stadium
Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist, was tragically taken from us on September 10 while speaking on a college campus. A public memorial service in his honour is being held on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.
The memorial service, titled 'Building a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk', will take place at State Farm Stadium and is expected to attract tens of thousands of attendees. The event has been designated as a Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) Level 1 event by the Department of Homeland Security.
President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and top administration officials are expected to attend the memorial service. Among the speakers for Sunday's event are former US President Donald Trump, who has called Kirk a 'martyr for American freedom'; Erika Kirk, Kirk's widow, who has been elected to replace him as the CEO for Turning Point USA and is scheduled to speak at the service; Ohio Senator JD Vance; and other conservative figures such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson, Stephen Miller, and Sergio Gor.
Erika Kirk has also been slated to speak at Sunday's service in addition to the previously mentioned speakers. The service will be streamed live on ABC News Live, and live blog coverage with up-to-the-minute developments will be available on ABCNews.go.com.
Attendees have been asked to wear red, white, or blue in honour of Kirk's patriotism. The memorial service is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. local time, or 2 p.m. ET.
Tragically, Tyler Robinson, aged 22, has been identified as the suspect in Kirk's killing. Robinson has been charged with multiple counts, including aggravated murder. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty for Robinson.
Despite this senseless act of violence, the memorial service for Charlie Kirk will serve as a reminder of his impact on the conservative movement and his unwavering commitment to American freedom. The event will also provide an opportunity for his friends, family, and supporters to come together and celebrate his life and legacy.
