The news of Charlie Kirk’s murder and passing is heartbreaking. Charlie dedicated his life to speaking boldly about what he believed, and his words were almost always spot-on. He empowered our younger generation not only to question authority, but to challenge it with fact and that’s how he lived. He was not afraid to debate anyone, anywhere, and he had a way of making those who challenged him become unhinged, not because of what he said, but because of the facts he brought with him. He inspired millions to love this country without apology and to never be afraid of standing tall in their convictions.
As President of Veterans for America First, I want to honor the impact Charlie had on countless Americans. His voice became a rallying point for people who felt forgotten, and his courage to stand in the fire is something we should never overlook.
To his family, friends, and all who knew and loved him, we offer our deepest condolences. No words can take away the pain, but I pray you find strength in knowing that his work sparked a movement that will continue to grow.
Charlie’s voice may be gone, but his message will carry on. And we will make sure of that.
Statement from CPT Robert M. Cornicelli, USARNG (Ret.)/Navy Veteran, President of Veterans for America First
