I join a bipartisan group of Representatives today to pay tribute to Chief Petty Officer Chris Kyle, a true American military hero, who was tragically killed on February 2nd.
Chris was a personal friend of mine, and I know how great of a loss this is for his family and for this entire country. I hope that our words today will help the American public remember him, honor him, and be thankful for his dedicated service to protecting the freedoms and liberties we all enjoy.
