特朗普追授查理·柯克总统自由勋章，遗孀在白宫玫瑰园代领
2025年10月14日，在位于美国首都华盛顿的白宫，特朗普总统在玫瑰园仪式上追授保守派活动人士查理·柯克美国平民最高荣誉总统自由勋章，由柯克的遗孀 Erika Kirk 代领；这一天原本是柯克的32岁生日。特朗普在仪式上称柯克是「无所畏惧的自由战士」，并说自己从中东行程连夜赶回，就是为了不错过这场仪式。
柯克是青年保守派组织「美国转折点」（Turning Point USA）的联合创办人，2025年9月10日在犹他州 Utah Valley University 演讲时遭枪击身亡，年仅31岁。军方礼仪官在宣读授奖词时称美国表彰柯克为「为真理与自由殉道的人」。Erika Kirk 在致辞中说，特朗普给了她丈夫「他能得到的最好的生日礼物」。
同一天，特朗普还签署公告，把2025年10月14日定为「查理·柯克全国纪念日」。公告说，9月10日下午柯克在校园庭院遇刺身亡，并称他是父亲、丈夫与美国保守派运动的巨人；公告号召美国人在各自的礼拜场所聚集纪念柯克，并为全国的和平、真理与正义祈祷。
总统自由勋章是美国政府给予平民的最高荣誉，授予对美国安全或国家利益、世界和平，或其他重大公共与私人事业作出特别杰出贡献的人。关联：查理·柯克在犹他谷大学演讲时遭枪击身亡 州长称政治暗杀

Trump Posthumously Awards Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Accepted by His Widow at the White House Rose Garden
On October 14, 2025, at the White House in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump posthumously awarded conservative activist Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor, at a Rose Garden ceremony, with Kirk's widow Erika Kirk accepting the medal on his behalf; the day would have been Kirk's 32nd birthday. Introducing the award, Trump called Kirk a "fearless warrior for liberty" and said he had raced back from his Middle East trip, landing at the White House around 3 a.m., rather than move the ceremony.
Kirk, a co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University in Utah, at age 31. A military aide reading the citation said the United States honors Kirk as "a martyr for truth and freedom." Accepting the medal, Erika Kirk said President Trump had given her husband "the best birthday gift he could ever have."
The same day, Trump signed a proclamation designating October 14, 2025, as a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk. The proclamation says Kirk was assassinated on the afternoon of September 10 in a campus courtyard, describes him as a father, a husband and a titan of the American conservative movement, and calls on Americans to assemble in their places of worship to pay homage to his memory and to pray for peace, truth and justice across the country.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor given by the U.S. government, presented to people who have made an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to other significant public or private endeavors.
