Security heightened as thousands prepare to attend a memorial service.
Sunday, thousands are preparing to gather at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, who was tragically assassinated earlier this month. The memorial service, titled “Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk,” is expected to draw an unprecedented crowd, with estimates reaching over 100,000 attendees.
Among those scheduled to speak are President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and several members of the administration, including:
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth
- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles
The Department of Homeland Security has designated the memorial as a SEAR Level 1 event, the highest security classification, equivalent to the Super Bowl. Federal agencies including the Secret Service, FBI, DHS, and ATF are coordinating efforts to ensure the safety of all attendees amid reports of unverified threats.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For wisdom and clarity for President Trump, Vice President Vance, and other leaders as they speak and lead during this solemn occasion.
- For protection over all attendees, law enforcement, and security personnel working to ensure safety at this high-profile event.
- For peace and safety for the general public and those traveling to the memorial.
- For God’s presence over the entire gathering, that it would be a moment of national reflection, healing, and spiritual renewal.
