Default CPO Chris Kyle

CPO Navy SEAL team sniper Chris Kyle is being laid to rest at the Texas State Cemetary today. I'm watching the funeral procession enter town on the TXDOT camera's. It's pretty amazing the show of support being shown to Kyle's family. Fire trucks with ladders raised, thousands of private vehicles lining the roadway. 100 motorcyle escort. He was a true hero!

So very disheartening. I pray for the families with deepest sympathies and regret. What an awesome guy.

It draws attention to fueling apprehension on reaching out to help our Wounded Warriors. Something I've been contemplating with events such as Wheeling for the Wounded.

Don't give a man suffering from PTSD a gun.... you should be ok.

Our Vets need all the help they can get.

Shooting has proven to help Vets when they come back....

I'm glad the Patriot Guard was at the memorial, those damn Westboro Baptist basturds were there.
Or at least tried to be.

If I lived closer to Westboro, I would organize a picket line outside their church EVERY sunday......

I have to agree with HeyYou on this.
