Vigil for Charlie Kirk held at Seaford LIRR station

SEAFORD, Long Island (WABC) -- On Long Island Saturday night, American flags and candles stretched as far as the eye could see for a Charlie Kirk memorial.

Thousands of people gathered by the LIRR station in Seaford, chanting Kirk's name and singing patriotic songs.

"Look at this. Saturday night -- everyone could be doing things, but instead we're here together. We are here to celebrate the life of the avatar of a generation. He gave motivation to so many young people all over this country," said one attendee.

The group vowed to keep supporting Kirk's Turning Point USA, along with its mission.
