His wife, Taya Kyle, has written a book about her time with Chris, his death, and how she can get up every morning knowing she will not have her husband by her side. I highly recommend reading both Taya's book and Chris's autobiography.

How thoughtful and impassioned your writing is here. I wonder if you know Roman Ortega on our campus? He is our Director of the Office of Veterans Affairs. We have occasional events on campus you might like to join in on. Either way, I am certain we all appreciate your post for its efforts to honor one of the fallen. Thank you.
