- Speakers included Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., DNI Tulsi Gabbard, adviser Stephen Miller and commentator Tucker Carlson.
- Turning Point USA organized the service, and Erika Kirk, newly leading the group, addressed mourners and publicly forgave her husband’s accused killer.
