Statement by STARRS
“We at STARRS so enjoyed working with Charlie Kirk! He was a wonderful father, patriot, and unmatched voice in opening the eyes of our youth (and their elders) to the vision and genius of our Founding Fathers! We are indebted to his dedicated efforts as a member of the USAFA Board of Visitors. Charlie shed a searing light on social justice distractions and helped return our alma mater to its mission of preparing Air and Space warriors to hit the ground running on graduation day. Our love, respect, and prayers go out to his grieving wife and two children. We thank the Lord, He blessed us with this giant, indomitable force for truth and knowledge. Charlie’s time with us was much too brief. But we know his words, his vision, and his impact will endure.”
