On this day 24 years ago, thousands of Americans were murdered by an evil terrorist threat determined to cripple America. Not only did they fail, but they exposed the selflessness and heroism of so many Americans, whether it was first responders rushing into a burning World Trade Center and Pentagon or airline passengers above Shanksville, PA.

On this solemn day, we remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks and honor their sacrifice and pledge once again that we will never forget their memory.

Charlie Kirk was a relentless advocate of free speech and spent his life investing in the youth of this country. He devoted his life to raising the next generation of Americans to love our country, engage in civic dialogue, and listen to one another. He was a true believer and spoke and lived his faith. He opened up conversations few dared to begin, showing how we can confidently make America even greater through thought and word. I am incredibly saddened hearing of his passing. America has lost a warrior.

Sending my prayers to his wife, Erika, and their two children.

—> 11% are illegal immigrants who shouldn’t be on the program

—> 25% are fraudsters that rob benefits from those who need them
