The resolution honors the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative figure and co-founder of Turning Point USA, who was tragically killed in a shooting while advocating for free speech in September 2025. Born on October 14, 1993, Kirk dedicated his life to promoting conservative values, civic engagement, and the importance of open debate among young Americans. His contributions to American conservatism, including his widely syndicated radio show and participation in major political events, have left a lasting impact on the nation and inspired many to uphold the principles of liberty and patriotism.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, the resolution designates October 14 as "Charlie Kirk Day" in West Virginia, encouraging residents to commemorate his birthday through educational programs, community discussions, and acts of service that reflect his values of faith, family, and freedom. This annual observance aims to remind West Virginians of the importance of principled leadership and the defense of free expression, ensuring that Kirk's legacy continues to resonate within the community. The resolution also directs that a copy be forwarded to Kirk's family and Turning Point USA.
