This world lost a true American hero on September 10, 2025. Doing what he loved and felt compelled to do, Charlie Kirk was on the Utah Valley University campus like hundreds of times before across America, debating students on difficult issues and speaking the Truth in love. He knew the risks but he went anyway. At the young age of 31, this husband, father and believer in Jesus Christ was brutally murdered by a coward who didn't like Charlie's opinions. 

The immense impact Charlie had on the younger generation in America was extraordinary. Despite all the threats to him he courageously still engaged in civil discourse and encouraged his attendees at his events to do the same. Using his intellect, his humor and his patience he gave everyone a chance to "change his mind". His love of Jesus and our country was always on display. Charlie gave his life doing what he thought was right.

We at Defender Gear want to honor the memory of Charlie Kirk with these new releases featuring an expression he would often say, "Liberty Demands Courage". His example and his vision will not die!

2 Timothy 4:7 - "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

A portion of the proceeds of our apparel honoring the memory of Charlie Kirk will go towards Charlie's vision of continuing the fight for America's future at Turning Point USA.
