About the American Sniper-The ‘puchline at the end’ is no surprise.


>   

> This is why

> America will remain strong. We take care of our own as well

> as others who may not deserve taking care of. I just wanted

> to share with you all that out of a horrible

>  tragedy we were blessed by so many people.

>  

>   

> Chris Kyle was

> Derek's teammate through 10 years of training and

> battle. They both suffer/suffered from PTSD to some extent

> and took great care of each

>  other because of it. 

>   

> 2006 in

> Ramadi was horrible for young men that never had any more

> aggressive physical contact

> with another human than

> on a Texas football field.

>  

>   

> They lost many

> friends. Chris became the armed services number #1 sniper of

> all time. Not something he was happy about, other than the

> fact that in so

>  doing, he saved a lot of American lives. 

>   

> Three years

> ago, his wife Taya asked him to leave the SEAL teams because

> he had a huge bounty on his head by Al Qaeda. He did and

> wrote the book "The American Sniper." 100% of

>  the proceeds from the book went to two of the SEAL families

> who had lost their sons in Iraq.

>  

>   

> That was the kind of

> guy Chris was. He formed a company in Dallas to train

> military, police and I think firemen how to protect

> themselves in difficult

>  situations. He also formed a foundation to work with

> military people suffering from PTSD. Chris was a giver not a

> taker. 

>   

> He, along with a

> friend and neighbor, Chad Littlefield, were murdered trying

> to help a young man that had served six months in Iraq and

> claimed to have

>  PTSD. 

> Now I need to tell you

> about all of the blessings. 

>   

> Southwest Airlines

> flew in any SEAL and their family from any airport to the

> funeral... free of charge. 

>   

> The employees donated

> buddy passes and one lady worked for four days without much

> of a break to see that it happened. 

> Volunteers were at

> both airports in Dallas to drive them to the

> hotel. 

>   

> The Marriott Hotel

> reduced their rates to $45 a night and cleared the hotel for

> only SEALs and family. 

>   

> The

> Midlothian, TX Police Department paid the $45 a night for

> each room. I would guess there were about 200 people staying

> at the hotel, 100 of them were SEALs. Two large buses

>  were chartered (an unknown donor paid the bill) to

> transport people to the different events and they also had a

> few rental cars (donated). The police and secret service

> were on duty 24 hours during the stay at our

> hotel.

>  

>   

> At the Kyle house, the

> Texas DPS parked a large motor home in front to block the

> view from reporters. It remained there the entire five days

> for the

>  SEALs to meet in and so they could use the restroom there

> instead of the bathroom in the house. Taya, their two small

> children and both sets of parents were staying in the

> home. 

>   

> Only a hand

> full of SEALs went into the home as they had different

> duties and meetings were held sometimes on a hourly basis.

> It was a huge coordination of many different events

>  and security. Derek was assigned to be a Pall Bearer, to

> escort Chris' body when it was transferred from the

> Midlothian Funeral Home to the Arlington Funeral Home, and

> to be with Taya. A tough job.

>  

>   

> Taya seldom

> came out of her bedroom. The house was full with people from

> the church and other family members that would come each day

> to help. I spent one morning in a bedroom

>  with Chris' mom and the next morning with Chad

> Littlefield's parents (the other man murdered with

> Chris). A tough job. 

> George W Bush and his

> wife Laura met and talked to everyone on the Seal Team one

> on one. They went behind closed doors with Taya for quite a

> while. They

>  had prayer with us all. You can tell when people were

> sincere and caring 

>   

> Nolan Ryan

> sent his cooking team, a huge grill and lots of steaks,

> chicken and hamburgers. They set up in the front yard and

> fed people all day long including the 200 SEALs and

>  their families. The next day a local BBQ restaurant set up

> a buffet in front of the house and fed all once again. Food

> was plentiful and all were taken care of. The family's

> church kept those inside the house well fed.

>  

>   

> Jerry Jones, the man

> everyone loves to hate, was a rock star. 0He made sure that

> we all were taken care of. His wife and he were just making

> sure everyone

>  was taken care of….Class... He donated the use of Cowboy

> Stadium for the services because so many wanted to

> attend. 

>   

> The charter

> buses transported us to the stadium on Monday at 10:30 am.

> Every car, bus, motorcycle was searched with bomb dogs and

> police. I am not sure if kooks were making threats

>  trying to make a name for themselves or if so many SEALs in

> one place was a security risk, I don't know. We

> willingly obliged. No purses went into the stadium!

>  

>   

> We were taken to The

> Legends room high up and a large buffet was available. That

> was for about 300 people. We were growing. 

>   

> A Medal of

> Honor recipient was there, lots of secret service and police

> and Sarah Palin and her husband. She looked nice, this was a

> very formal military service. 

>   

>   

> The service started at

1:00 pm and when we were escorted onto the field I was

> shocked. We heard that about 10,000 people had come to

> attend also. They

>  were seated in the stadium seats behind us. It was a

> beautiful and emotional service. 

>   

> The Bagpipe and drum

> corps were wonderful and the Texas A&M men's choir

> stood through the entire service and sang right at the end.

> We were all in tears. 

>   

> The next day was the

> 200-mile procession from Midlothian, TX to Austin for

> burial. It was a cold, drizzly, windy day, but the people

> were out. We had

>  dozens of police motorcycles riders, freedom riders, five

> chartered buses and lots of cars.  You had to have a

> pass to be in the procession and still it was huge. 

> Two helicopters circled the procession with snipers sitting

> out the side door for protection.

>  It was the longest funeral procession ever in the state of

> Texas.  People were everywhere. The entire route was

> shut down ahead of us, the people were lined up on the side

> of the road the entire way.  Firemen were down on one

> knee, police officers were holding

>  their hats over their hearts, children waving flags,

> veterans saluting as we went by.  Every bridge had fire

> trucks with large flags displayed from their tall ladders,

> people all along the entire 200 miles were standing in the

> cold weather.  It was so heartwarming.

>  Taya rode in the hearse with Chris' body so Derek rode

> the route with us.  I was so grateful to have that time

> with him. 

>   

> The service was at

> Texas National Cemetery. Very few are buried there and you

> have to apply to get in. It is like people from the Civil

> War, Medal of

>  Honor winners, a few from the Alamo and all the historical

> people of Texas.  It was a nice service and the Freedom

> Riders surrounded the outside of the entire cemetery to keep

> the crazy church people from Kansas that protest at military

> funerals away from

>  us. 

>   

> Each SEAL put his

> Trident (metal SEAL badge) on the top of Chris' casket,

> one at a time.  A lot hit it in with one blow. 

> Derek was the only one to 

> take four taps to put

> his in and it was almost like he was caressing it as he did

> it.  Another tearful moment. 

>   

> After the service

> Governor Rick Perry and his wife, Anita, invited us to the

> governor's mansion.  She stood at the door,

>  greeted each of us individually,

>  and gave each of the SEALs a coin of Texas.  She was a

> sincere, compassionate, and gracious hostess. 

>   

> We were able to tour

> the ground floor and then went into the garden for beverages

> and BBQ.  So many of the Seal team guys said that after

> they get out

>  they are moving to Texas.  They remarked that they had

> never felt so much love and hospitality.  The charter

> buses then took the guys to the airport to catch their

> returning  flights.  Derek just now called and

> after a 20 hours flight he is back in his spot,

>  in a dangerous land on the other side of the world,

> protecting America. 

>   

> We just wanted to

> share with you, the events of a quite emotional, but blessed

> week. 

>   

> Punch-line:

>   

> *To this day,* *no one

> in the White House* * has ever acknowledged Chris Kyle.* -

> his service, his death, his duty, his generosity, his

> caring, his life. 

>   

> However, the President

> can call a sports person and congratulate him on his bravery

> for announcing to the world that he is gay. He can say on

> national

>  television say that someone, a man who has committed a

> crime, and was shot by police in the line of duty, would

> have made him a good son.

>  

>   

> The

> SEALS have asked that you please, keep this moving if you

> think Chris Kyle would have made a good son.
