The State Of Texas Just Did Something Beautiful In Honor Of Chris Kyle For Memorial Day Weekend [SEE PHOTOS] According to recent reports, the Texas Senate just passed House Bill 1187, thereby designated a segment of U.S. Hwy 287 to American hero Chris Kyle. Chris Kyle Memorial Highway was passed earlier this month, and is now on its way to Governor Greg Abbott for an official sign off. Kyle was deemed an American hero after achieving 150 kills as a Navy SEAL sniper. He was given two Silver Stars, five Bronze stars with Valor, and several additional achievement medals before he was tragically killed. Although his status as a hero has been a controversial one, thousands of patriots throughout the country showed support for Kyle by attending his memorial service at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. Nearly 7,000 people attended. Do you support Abbott signing the bill?
