Today, the global village faces a severe crisis in the free market system due to the false propaganda of left-wing political forces peddling "democracy" as a commodity.

Regulations and controls disguised as freedom, and the monopolization of power under the banner of equality, ultimately lead the people to slavery. At this moment, we wish to remember a young hero who proved the value of freedom with his life.

Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was a leader who awakened youth worldwide to freedom and responsibility, faith and patriotism.

He visited Korea just five days before his passing and left a message that the Republic of Korea must firmly defend its anti-communist free market system. This was not a mere schedule, but a fated encounter, a bridge connecting Korea and the United States, and indeed, the entire free world.

A crowd far exceeding those at the funerals of past U.S. presidents gathered for his funeral. Countless young people and citizens honored his sacrifice and life. However, remembering Charlie Kirk is not solely America's responsibility.

As a nation of the "Eastern Land of Etiquette," Korea has a duty to participate in honoring a hero who became a star while defending freedom.

In this spirit, the Militia for the Defense of the Free Market has launched a Charlie Kirk Memorial Comment Campaign. This campaign is not just an online activity. It is a testimony of the Korean people's will for freedom and faith expressed through comments, a final greeting and pledge to a young leader. For all citizens to participate is a renewed oath to defend the free market system.

We plan to select heartfelt messages from the comments and deliver them directly to the deceased's family, Mrs. Erica, and President Donald Trump through the U.S. Embassy. This will be a historic act that draws the attention of the entire world to Korea.

Furthermore, after the compilation of memorial comments is delivered to the family, we will invite Mrs. Erica and other family members to Korea to host an event where we can share the spirit of the free market, faith, and patriotism together.

Fellow Citizens,

Now is the time to act.

When a single line of comment converges into a mighty roar, the Republic of Korea will stand tall as the last bastion of freedom. The spark of freedom left by Charlie Kirk must be carried on in Korea.

Your commemoration and pledge will be the spirit of Korean righteous warriors and a torch of freedom that the world will watch.
