US Vice President JD Vance helped carry Charlie Kirk’s casket with a group of uniformed service members as it was loaded onto Air Force Two. Charlie Kirks casket arrived in his home state of Arizona aboard Air Force Two on Thursday, September 11, as Vice President JD Vance honored the conservative activist with a final flight. Vances wife, Usha, stepped off the plane with Kirks widow, Erika. Both women wore black and sunglasses. The vice president was a few steps behind in a dark suit.  Air Force Two arrived in Phoenix after a short flight from Salt Lake City, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) from Orem, Utah, where Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. Vance helped carry Kirks casket with a group of uniformed service members as it was loaded onto the plane.  On Wednesday night, Vance wrote on social media that his relationship with Vance began several years ago after he appeared on Tucker Carlsons show on Fox News. Kirk reached out to compliment him, and that moment of kindness began a friendship. Last year, Kirk advocated for Vance to be Donald Trumps choice for vice president and frequently checked in on his family. Vance described him as a true friend. Kirk was co-founder and CEO of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, based in Phoenix. See video below.  I am in tears.
