But part of his legacy are his children, and I would encourage anyone who wishes to get the address or the email and make a contribution so that the Nation shows its respect for his service by making sure that his children have the education that this country is capable of providing. I would also encourage anybody who lives near their families to reach out and touch them personally.

All of our servicemen and -women, we should thank them when we see them. We should show their families here at home we support their service, and we should dedicate ourselves today to making sure that our Armed Forces have the best equipment, the best training, and, if necessary, the best rescue operations, and their families get the very best while they're serving their country, because we're here in freedom because of the Chris Kyles and all that they've done and continue to do.
