God Bless an American Hero Chris Kyle, I know that I never meet him face to face but I feel like I know him. It pains me to watch our Brave Warriors lose their lives and have the “elites” in our society spit on their graves. As I long as I live, Chris Kyle and other Brave American Warriors will not be forgotten to the battlefields of War both over seas and at home. May you watch over us in Heaven Kyle. Put in a good word for the True Americans in this Country.

Is anyone in the media going to point out “hey look at all the white faces” like they so much like to do? No, I didn’t think so.

God Bless Kyle and his Family.

Remember him by supporting his causes of Duty, Honor and Country.

Vengeance is the Lord’s.

We are seeing and resisting Principalities and Powers we don’t directly understand.

Have Faith, Hope and Charity.

Star Spangled Banner, Taps and a Toast.

RIP Chris

For all of you critizing snipers.. maybe snipers and sharpshooters should not be used to protect the person who resides in the WH?

I use to comment on this web site, but I stopped. I will say this , Shame on every one of you that are not praying for Chris Kyle and his family. IT IS PEOPLE LIKE HIM THAT AFFORDS YOU THE FREEDOM TO SAY THE IGNORANT AND SHAMEFUL THINGS THAT SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING.
NOT TO MENTION THE LIVES HE HAS SAVED BY JUST DOING HIS JOB. GOD BLESS CHRIS AND HIS FAMILY. God bless Glenn Beck for his part in helping raise much needed money for the family and Chris’s charity.

  Not a single person Kyle murdered was a threat to our freedoms. Kyle belonged to a death cult (notice the “Punnisher” skull unit patch on their uniforms. The Order of the Death’s Head 2.0). This was no funeral, it was an orgy of state worshiping propaganda.

God, please be with this family in this painful loss of their husband, son and daddy…comfort, encourage, strengthen, keep strong these during their hardest hours…God, we are grateful for the service Chris gave on behalf of the United States of America and for many others in foreign lands…Father, thank you for showing us how a patriot fights for freedom and stands against tyranny when others shrink back…may we pick up where he left off…

I have two poems I’d like to share in the hopes that they will make their way to the family.

The first is titled, :UNBROKEN”; it is about that special bond that all service members share. http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n378/mdsbigpapa/Patriot%20Guard%20Riders/UNBROKEN_Frame-2_zpseda5a800.jpg

The second is titled, “The Patriot Guard Riders”; it can be thought of similar to our Mission Statement. http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n378/mdsbigpapa/Patriot%20Guard%20Riders/PGRPoem-2.jpg

You are free to copy and share as you wish. My only request is they are NOT sold for profit.

Rest in the Peace of the Arms of the Lord, Christopher Scott Kyle.

For many years,
This sailor has stood the watch.

While some of us were in our bunks at night,
This sailor stood the watch.

While some of us were in school learning our trade,
This shipmate stood the watch.

Yes…even before some of us were born into this world,
This shipmate stood the watch.

In those years when the storm clouds of war were seen
brewing on the horizon of history,
This shipmate stood the watch.

Many times he would cast an eye ashore and see his family standing there,
Needing his guidance and help,
Needing that hand to hold during those hard times,
But he still stood the watch.

He stood the watch for many years,
He stood the watch so that we, our families,
And our fellow countrymen could sleep soundly in safety,
Each and every night,
Knowing that a sailor stood the watch.

Today we are here to say:
“Shipmate…the watch stands relieved.
Relieved by those YOU have trained, guided, and lead
Shipmate you stand relieved…we have the watch!”

“Boatswain…Standby to pipe the side…Shipmate’s going Ashore!”

You hope WHO is visited by the cop killer? Presuming you are another one of the sick lefties who has cheered the death of a patriot while cheering on a mentally ill murderer let me educate you on a few facts about our military snipers.
They are the guys who run interference and keep danger at bay so the rest of the troop can move forward. If he had not done his job, hundreds of Americans could have lost their lives. Your disrespect is not well received by those who honor our military (and ain’t it too bad they die for fools like you?).

Taps:

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
‘Neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
