Video footage captured during the funeral procession for ‘American Sniper’, Chris Kyle. His funeral procession spanned 200 miles from Midlothian to Austin. Kyle was a Navy SEAL sniper who served four tours in the Iraq War and had 160 confirmed kills. He received a Silver Star, three Bronze Star Medals with "V" devices for valor, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals with "V" device, along with numerous other unit and personal accolades. On February 2, 2013, Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were tragically shot dead at a Texas shooting range by Eddie Ray Routh. Routh, like Kyle, was an Iraq war veteran suffering from severe Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Kyle agreed to become the young veteran's mentor, and for their first meeting, decided to take him to a local gun range. But on the way there, Kyle and Littlefield realized just how troubled Routh was. "This dude is straight up nuts," Kyle texted Littlefield as they drove in silence. "He's right behind me," Littlefield responded. "Watch my six." Moments after pulling into the range, Routh grabbed two pistols and fired a barrage of bullets into both men, killing them instantly. Routh was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

Chris Kyle was a United States Navy SEAL sniper. Born on April 8, 1974 in Odessa, Texas, he became one of the most lethal snipers in U.S. military history. Chris Kyle joined the Navy in 1999 and quickly gained admittance to its elite SEALs unit. He served four tours in the Iraq War as a sniper and was awarded several commendations for acts of heroism and meritorious service in combat. His marksmanship became renowned both within the American military and among insurgents, who nicknamed him “The Devil of Ramadi.” Kyle claimed to have killed more than 160 people, a record for a U.S. military sniper. In 2012, he published his bestselling autobiography, “American Sniper”, which detailed his experiences as a sniper. The book later inspired a film adaptation directed by Clint Eastwood, with Bradley Cooper portraying Kyle. After leaving the military in 2009, Kyle followed various pursuits, including appearing on talk shows and participating in the TV competition show “Stars Earn Stripes.” He also co-launched a non-profit group, FITCO Cares Foundation, which supplies fitness equipment to war-wounded veterans. In 2013, Chris Kyle was tragically murdered by Eddie Ray Routh at a Texas gun range near Chalk Mountain. Routh, a former Marine, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.
