Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, accepted the Medal of Freedom awarded to her husband posthumously on Tuesday, thanking those around the world for believing in Kirk and his mission.
“You are the heartbeat of this future movement,” Erika said. “Everything Charlie built—you guys are the legacy holders of that. You’re living his mission with him… I know that freedom will endure.”
She added her husband was free from fear and compromise, noting the “freest people in the world are those whose hearts belong to Christ… The real freedom is the power to live freely and to do what is right.”
Erika said while she struggled for years to find the perfect birthday gift for her husband, the award from President Donald Trump was “the best” he could receive.
“He preferred quiet birthdays,” Erika said. “I said, ‘Baby, I love your birthday… because it’s the day that the world couldn’t go another day without you’ … [Freedom is] what Charlie fought for until his last breath, and it was written on his chest in those final minutes.”
