Chris Kyle: paying out last respects

[Younggun]

I'm standing on the Valley Mills Dr overpass with about 10-15 other people and more arriving. I feel it's the least I can do for a true American hero.

I hope anyone else who has the ability will do the same for a man who gave so much for his country and represents what we should all strive to be.

Amen

Thank you Mr. Chris Kyle

I can not even fathom those Westboro folks attempting one of their protest and start their "God killed Chris crap". I will hop in my pickup and break all kinds of speeding records to get there.

Not in this thread please.

Great article about his memorial written by a female journalist who's admittedly center-left in her views

This was from the overpass is Waco. There is a ton of background noise from a fire truck so I suggest low volume.

I look my kids out of school to attend this. We were just north of 1431 in Round Rock. Hundreds of people just where where I could see. Pretty awesome sight. Events like this give me hope this country may not be all lost.

There had to be where I was....

 

[Younggun]

I stood on an overpass in the rain waiting for the procession to reach our area.

As the first car went by myself along with about 10 others went to attention. You would have thought someone called "attention.....Present arms". It was a strange experience seeing as how everyone was on the same page. I've never thought so much about the meaning of a salute as I did watching the cars pass beneath us and couldn't help but feel like it wasn't enough.


Yes, it was rather emotional.

I'm proud of you Texans.


Rest in Peace Sir.

Thanks for posting up this thread Younggun. A real hero was laid to rest in a place with other hero's today.
