Adam, I'm just a little older than you. I think you can absolutely carry on Charlie's legacy. You and many others in Gen Z. Don't stop because that's what they want us to do. Cower in fear. God bless you!

Adam, when you talked about how Charlie was our voice in the beginning it made me think of what I heard Charlie say. Charlie was asked what his Starbucks order is and he replied its a "Mint majesty tea with two honeys". He stated he would drink a lot of these throughout the day so he wouldn't lose his voice.

In honor of Charlie a trend has developed and a lot of us have been going to Starbucks and ordering the same drink and when asked for a name weve all been saying "Charlie" so they write Charlie on the cup. You may have seen this on Tiktok by now.

I went to Starbucks today, mind you I've probably been to it less than 5 times in my life, not much of a coffee drinker, but I had to go join in on this. Here's the part that warmed my heart a little. When I got to the drive thru and gave my order they had told me that the Mint Majesty is sold out due to so many of us ordering it. I was a little sad I didn't get to try Charlie's tea, I plan on going back soon to try again. I did however just tweak the order a bit...and they still wrote Charlie on it for me :). I wish I could tell Charlie we sold out Starbucks of Mint Majesty tea as a way to commemorate him, but...im sure he knows. He'll never be forgotten and with the help of his tea, we'll never lose our voices. 🇺🇸

Hey, Adam, I've been waiting for your thoughts in writing on America's loss of Charlie Kirk. What struck me is that his gatherings attracted both admirers and his enemies. Very rarely will you see this today with any other personality or organization. People are siloed everywhere in their political and ideological echo chambers. It reminded me of the picture we get of Jesus in the Gospels. Who gathered around him? The poor, the political, the religious leaders, his admirers and his enemies. The greatest legacy that Charlie Kirk left for us seems to be the call to engage in honest conversation with one. And if I may add for Christians: to do it always with sincere love. As far as Gen Z... I hope they break the mold and have the wisdom to learn from history to not make the same mistakes as previous generations.

Bravo, Adam. A poignant message and a beautiful tribute to an extraordinary man whose legacy will stand strong because of brave young people like yourself. I hope I will still be around to see the changes that I pray your generation will bring to the future of this country and the world. Keep Charlie and his inspiration alive, young warrior. The world is in your hands.

My younger son (age 24) showed me Charlie's YouTube videos several years ago. I was very impressed with Charlie's amazing debating skills and knowledge of U.S. history and the Constitution. It was fascinating watching someone so young win debate after debate with logic and reason and no ad hominem attacks! Just using his wits and intelligence. And how brave to be in front of huge (sometimes antagonistic) crowds. I only later learned he was a devout Christian. I never met him but his murder affected me deeply. His beliefs and goodness will continue to inspire me. Thanks for your commentary Adam.
