With the state of our nation, and in the wake of current events, NEVER FORGET. We need to return to the nation we were in 2001, the nation that came together after this tragic event, a nation of people that cared about each other.

It is with deep sadness we acknowledge the death of Charlie Kirk, conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder. Kirk died Wednesday after he was shot at an event at Utah Valley University. He was 31 years old and leaves behind a wife and two small children. May God be with the Kirk family, all who loved him, and our Nation.
