Christopher Scott "Chris" Kyle (April 8, 1974 – February 2, 2013) was a United States Navy SEAL having the most recorded kills (160) by a sniper in American history, with the actual number estimated to be even more. His best-selling autobiography, American Sniper, was produced by Clint Eastwood as a wildly popular movie. Kyle was born, raised and lived in Texas, which honored him by officially declaring February 2, 2015, as "Chris Kyle Day."[1]
He served four times for the United States in Iraq, and was awarded two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars with Valor.[2]
On February 2, 2013, Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were murdered at a shooting range near Chalk Mountain, Texas.
