Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Friday that the Lone Star State will declare February 2, 2015 “Chris Kyle Day” in honor of the famed American hero."As Governor, I will constantly work to find ways like these to help our veterans. It’s our duty to help those who helped make America so exceptional. And it’s our duty to honor those whose sacrifice has preserved our freedom.
"Along those lines, I wanted you to be the first to know. In honor of a Texas son, a Navy SEAL and an American hero – a man who defended his brothers and sisters in arms on and off the battlefield – I am declaring February 2nd Chris Kyle Day in Texas. We will commemorate his passing. But more importantly, remembering his answering of the call of duty.
"We thank Chris Kyle and all of you for your service and sacrifice. And we rededicate ourselves to a cause greater than ourselves. To freedom for our children, their children and for generations yet to be born. May God bless you and all who wear the uniform of the United States of America," Abbott said.
Chris Kyle was (and still is in my mind) a great American hero. I am grateful for all he did to save the lives of thousands of our warfighters, coalition forces, and good Muslims. I despise all of those liberal/progressive idiots who are attempting to disparage the good name of America's great patriot and the greatest American sniper of all time. May you RIP Chris Kyle. You will always be a great historic figure.
