We are shocked and deeply saddened by the murder of Mr. Charlie Kirk, a member of the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. BOV Chairman, Congressman August Pfluger ‘00, shared the following about Mr. Kirk:

“I had the privilege of serving alongside him on the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors this year, inspiring the next generation of servicemembers together. My heart aches for the Kirk family as they navigate this unimaginable loss. Please join me in lifting his family and our entire nation up in prayer."

Mr. Kirk was a passionate champion for our Academy, its timeless mission and the extraordinary Cadets who have dedicated their lives to service before self. Our prayers and condolences are with Mr. Kirk’s family and loved ones as they mourn his loss.
