The first Turning Point USA chapter event in Wenatchee was held Tuesday on National Charlie Kirk Observance Day, one of many held across the country.
19-year-old TPUSA chapter president Keyton Lawter addressed a crowd of several hundred from the steps of the Chelan County Courthouse in Memorial Park
"Five weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was martyred in the public square for all to see, doing what he had always done, standing for truth, engaging young minds and defending the values that built this nation. They say freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Let it not be ours that lets freedom die. Let it be ours that rekindles the flames, that fights to preserve it, and carries it higher than ever before" -- Keyton Lawter, TPUSA Vector
