He fearlessly spoke the truth, championed respectful debate, and loved his family more than anything. Today would have been Charlie’s 32nd birthday, and I can’t think of a more fitting tribute than the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. It was a privilege to attend the White House ceremony to honor his life and speak with his precious parents. As President Trump made clear today, Charlie’s legacy will never be forgotten.” Click here to download this photo of Senator Blackburn with Charlie Kirk’s parents. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
