Travel Cross-Country Conservatives for Kirk Memorial at the State Farm Stadium

Tens of thousands of preservatives, young and smaller, from across the country made the trip to Arizona on Sunday to honor the heritage of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a commemorative service.

Many people present told Fox News Digital that they woke up in the middle of the night to make several -hour records at the Glendale State Farm Stadium, where they then waited in long lines outside to honor Krik, who was murdered on September 10 during the first stop of the “American return tour” of Utah Valley.

“Everyone has become a friend online, everyone has exchanged figures, everyone is in the same team trying to make America again brilliant,” Lindsay Rastgoo told Arizona, Fox News Digital.

Rastgoo said she started her stadium trip at 1:45 am and was delighted to honor Kirk’s heritage.

“I mean he changes the world,” she said about activist fire. “People are starting to see the truth in what he says. And people are just starting to see that he is one of the good ones.”

Diana Alcorn said she had traveled from Oregon because Kirk’s message had resonated with her.

“I came from Medford, Oregon, because Charlie, he resonates with me as a senior but also for my children and my grandchildren,” she said.

Cliff Maloney, CEO of Citizens Alliance, was friends with Kirk and shared his emotions on the massive event with Fox News Digital at the Memorial.

“It’s a revival here,” he said. “People come to Christ. They talk about their faith. And they talk about how the radical took a 31 -year -old child far too early.”

“Charlie’s heritage is going nowhere,” said Maloney. “It is more important now than it could have been. Turning point had more than 60,000 people to get involved to start a chapter. This is only the start.”

John Hockhalter, by Sun Lakes, Arizona, told Fox News Digital that Kirk “had built something really special” and encouraged his 21 -year -old daughter to consult the Turnout Point USA organization in Kirk.

“I may push it to check the USA TP a little,” he said.

Josh Riesen of Carson City, Nevada, said he left around 4:30 am on Saturday and arrived later in the afternoon.

“I believe in everything he represented,” said Riesen. “America needs a change, a big change, and it pushed towards it. I hope that the message will pass through and that we get a change here.”

He said he felt “shocked” when he heard of Kirk’s assassination, and it was hard to believe that something could happen because of “the power of someone’s word”.

“His word is not going to disappear. It will become even stronger from now on, I think,” he said.
