Fellow American,

Just a few months ago, Charlie was asked a simple but profound question during a podcast interview: 

"If everything goes away... how do you want to be remembered?" 

That’s not an easy question to answer. 

Because the truth is, there are so many ways Charlie could have answered. 

He could have said he wanted to be remembered as a bold leader who shaped the hearts and minds of an entire generation…

And that would have been true. 

He could have pointed to his work in inspiring young people on campuses from coast to coast to get registered to vote... 

He could have said: “I want to be remembered as a loving husband.” 

Or as a devoted father. 

Or as a loyal friend who never turned his back when things got hard. 

Any of those answers would have been right. 

Because Charlie was all of those things. 

He was a faithful husband to Erika. A proud father who loved his children dearly. A friend who stood by people in adversity. 

Charlie left behind a powerful legacy in every one of those areas. 

He built one of the most influential movements of our time. 

He poured into his team—always giving, always investing, always believing. 

Charlie was extraordinarily gifted by God. He had a once-in-a-generation mind. 

He could walk into any room, any interview, any debate—and speak with clarity, conviction, and courage. 

But none of those things were what mattered most to him. 

So how did Charlie answer that question? 

He didn’t pause. He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t preface his response. 

He said with clarity: 

“I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing.” 

“The most important thing is my faith in my life.” 

Fellow American… Charlie Kirk loved and trusted in Jesus Christ. 

He knew who his Savior was. He lived with eternity in mind. 

And that is the legacy he wanted to leave behind. 

Not just influence. Not just achievement. Not just family. 

But faith. Faith that endures. Faith that stands in the fire. 

The impact of Charlie’s courage for his faith is already sweeping across the nation, and even the world. 

In city after city, prayer vigils are being held. On campuses and in towns, people are gathering—not just to remember—but to worship.

Churches are filling again as families return to the pews together.  

And stories are pouring in of men and women even finding faith for the very first time… because of Charlie’s bold witness. 

This is Charlie’s legacy. 

What’s happening right now—hearts turning back to God, lives being forever changed—that’s what Charlie wanted most. 

A faith that is alive. 
A faith that multiplies. 
A faith that inspires millions to stand with courage. 

Fellow American, this is only the beginning. 

The mission Charlie poured himself into is not finished. The fight for faith and freedom still lives on. And the next generation still needs the truth. 

Charlie helped raise up the most powerful pro-faith, pro-America youth movement in history. 

And now it is our turn—yours and ours—to carry that torch forward. To live with that same courage. To keep pointing this generation back to what matters most. 

For Charlie, 

Pastor Lucas Miles 

Senior Director of TPUSA Faith 

P.S. As the Senior Director of TPUSA Faith, a pastor, and a friend of Charlie’s, I know this mission is far bigger than one man — together, we can carry forward the vision Charlie gave his life for.
