This morning at a 9/11 remembrance ceremony, President Trump began his speech with a tribute to Charlie Kirk, who was murdered yesterday at Utah Valley University.
He also confirmed that Kirk will be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The award is described this way:
Established by President John F. Kennedy in 1963, this prestigious award is the Nation's highest civilian honor. It is awarded by the President of the United States to individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the security or national interests of America, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.
Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
Can't think of anyone more deserving.
Rest in Peace, Charlie.
