United States Navy SEAL sniper
Born: April 8, 1974
Died: February 2, 2013
Chris Kyle, born on April 8, 1974, was a highly decorated Navy SEAL sniper known as the “American Sniper.” He served four tours in the Iraq War and is credited with the most confirmed kills (160) in U.S. military history. Kyle’s precision and effectiveness in combat earned him widespread recognition and the respect of his comrades.
After leaving the military, Kyle wrote his autobiography, “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,” which became a bestseller and was adapted into a film directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Bradley Cooper as Kyle.
Despite his successes, Kyle faced personal challenges, including struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) upon returning home. He dedicated himself to helping other veterans cope with similar issues, founding the FITCO Cares Foundation to provide support and rehabilitation services.
Tragically, Chris Kyle was killed on February 2, 2013, at a shooting range in Texas by a fellow veteran he was trying to help. His death was a profound loss to the military community and sparked widespread mourning across the nation for a man who had served his country with valor and dedication.
Chris Kyle’s 5 most popular quotes
