Texas Governor Declares ‘Chris Kyle Day’

Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared February 2nd to be “Chris Kyle Day” to honor the Texan who became known the most lethal sniper in American history. Kyle was also recently immortalized in the blockbuster film “American Sniper.”

Kyle was credited with 150 sniper kills during his four tours of duty in Iraq as a Navy Seal. He was tragically shot and killed on February 2, 2013, while trying to help a fellow veteran who was allegedly suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Taya Kyle, the widow of Chris Kyle, was recently honored by the organization AmericanSnipers.org with a donation of $62,000. According to a Breitbart News article by AWR Hawkins, the group raised the money by raffling a McMillan .338 Lapua sniper rifle. She also recently made news by shooting an antelope on a hunting trip taken to honor her late husband.

Good on Gov. Perry!

Did you know that with over 7000 attending Chris Kyle's funeral, no one from the Obama Regime attended to pay respects to this warrior.

A rare moment when the putz actually understood no one wanted him within a hundred miles of the ceremony.

I’ll be more impressed when they stop having Muslim day and prevent the establishment of Sharia tribunals. Kyle won the battle, and the country is losing the war at home.

Watched gov Abbot and Bob Bennett on Chris Wallace this Sunday morning and Bennett said to Abbot that he was sorry he couldn’t be in Texas for Chris Kyle Day on Monday.

Good for the governor!
