Chris Kyle Funeral Procession.

[Tex Star Detail]

Just snapped a few pics as the procession rolled through my town.
(couple pics not by me)
I decided to get out early and get a spot, with my American Flag of course.

Me with the flag on the overpass..

I was above the yellow sign, holding the flag straight up in the air while they were passing.

It was the most humbling experience. No one talked. The overpass I was on was shoulder to shoulder with Vets. The Procession was a 200 mile trip to Austin, with the vehicles stretched 10 miles. The complete 3 lane highway was shut down, on ramps, and exits......

Here is a youtube video someone shot at the overpass behind the one we were on.
(Was for emergency personnel only)
They had the 2 ladder Fire Trucks with a flag in between, with a Bag Piper on top playing....

I just thought I'd share my experience today.

RIP Chris Kyle

That was Rep. NJ Senator Chris Christie. Chris Kyle was a true American hero who saved the lives of 100s of our own troops. I was fortunate enough to read his book a couple years ago when my father suggested it. Lets honor him and the men and women of our armed services in this thread, not turn it into a political memo.

Per snopes.com, Obama did not order flags at half mast. It was the governor of New Jersey, happens to be a Republican, that did it in New Jersey but that never stops some from making stuff up.
