Hundreds honor Charlie Kirk at "One Voice Vigil"

Scenes from the "One Voice Vigil" for Charlie Kirk

On Sunday, September 21, nearly 400 people filled the Village Green in Pinehurst to honor Charlie Kirk, beloved conservative voice, founder of Turning Point USA, and committed Christian.

The vigil was organized by Moore Republican Women to enable our community to mourn the loss of this great man and to be inspired to continue his quest for truth, freedom and salvation.

Speakers included political representatives and TPUSA, area churches, and friends of Charlie's.

Below are just some of the highlights from the Vigil:
