Glenn Beck Shares Emotional Moment Following Chris Kyle Memorial Service

Feb. 11, 2013 7:58pm Tiffany Gabbay

On Monday evening, Glenn Beck attended fallen veteran Chris Kyle’s memorial service and shared a few of this thoughts with viewers about a service he described as both “overwhelming” and poignant. He noted that the room was unlike that of any other funeral he had ever attended and was full of “people with valor and honor.”

Beck explained that the entire room felt bonded in an unspoken sense of awe and respect for a man who lived his life to help others.

“I attended as someone who just wanted to show their support,” Beck said before describing Kyle’s wife and family and how difficult it is for young children to lose a parent early in life. As someone who lost his mother at age 13, Beck said he wasn’t sure if Kyle’s children can yet “understand it so young,” but that the importance of having had a father “who gave everything” to help others, including fellow vets, is indeed profound.

All of the proceeds from Kyle’s book, “American Sniper” are directly used for helping veterans. Beck said that he, too, through his charitable organization Mercury One, will also raise money for veterans in Kyle’s honor.

Watch Beck’s share some of his thoughts below:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

You say we’ll lose badly, what’s the alternative? Living as slaves? There are evils worse than death. The American people no longer cherish Freedom, they want comfort and “security” and they’ll give up whatever they have to to get it. A truly sad state of affairs, I never thought I’d see the day.

May God bless Chris Kyle’s soul and his family that has been left behind. I pray that much good will come from his death. That others will step up in his place and walk that walk of an American Hero. To fight the Good fight all over the world. Thank you Glenn for helping this family.

Every dime sent to an Islamic country, supports the religion of Islam, violating the US Constitution and the 1st amendment? How many dead soldiers is it going to take to open your eyes?

The death of those soldiers was preventable?

  My step-son who had opportunity to hang out in Afghanistan, came home with a real issue against these druggies who purchase heroin. He says those drug dealers and users helped to buy the RPG that nearly took his life. Hang the Heroin dealer for treason!
  God Bless the good soldiers and warriors of the USA

“U.S. foreign policy is aggressive, reckless, belligerent, and meddling. We don’t need a foreign policy that strikes a balance. We don’t need a foreign policy that we can afford. We don’t need a foreign policy that is like Reagan’s. We don’t need a foreign policy that is less interventionist. We need a wholesale repudiation of the past century of an evil and murderous U.S. foreign policy.” – Laurence Vance

  @Glibertacct Your NUTS!
  We need a Federal Government that protects this nation and gives assistance to our true allies. One that protects our borders first and looks evil in the eye and says, “We will protect human life everywhere we can, but starting at home first.” We MUST be the most powerful force in the world for good or good will fall to evil. Granted we should not do that alone, but we must LEAD the world to peace. You can not lead the world by weakness; only by strength.

  @americansfighting… “We will protect human life everywhere we can, but starting at home first.”
  
  Please explain how the following instances have “protected human life” (and don’t give me any junk about these acts preventing even more innocent deaths… because that is verifiably not true).
  - dropping two nuclear warheads on heavily populated civilian cities
  - dropping 20 million gallons of agent orange on civilians
  - 500,000 child deaths during Iraq sanctions in the 90′s
  
  Youtube “All wars are bankers wars” and see how moral our wars have been.
  
  “We must lead the world to peace”?? So you think that peace will come by means of violence? If you think this then you are the one who is nuts.

  With Glenn Beck’s decorated military career I can see how he relates. Glenn is a war hero just like Ted Nugent and 5 time deferment man Dick Cheney! Maybe not. Let’s all buy some Glenn blue jeans and some survival seeds. The Caliphate is coming!

The loss of such an amazing Father to those very young children will be felt the most. Mrs. Kyle is going to need many prayers to help her through this but also for the added strength she will need for the children in the coming days and years. Such a tragic loss – we never know why but we know God will always see us through.

The Cognitive Dissonance between the Values this man lived by, and Glenn’s plea for Jesus/Gandhi PACIFISM remains DEAFENING. Glenn has yet, as far as I know, to make any attempt to resolve it. Nor any attempt to resolve the Cognitive Dissonance between the Values and Actions of the Founders he praises, with the Pacifism he now advocates. It is stunning in its disjuncture.
I keep wanting to ask Glenn “If NOT this, WHAT? If NOT now, WHEN?”
I don’t know whether the Cognitive Dissonance in what he DOES say, or the Silence in the Questions he does NOT answer, Shrieks the Louder.

  Washington, upon receiving the news of Lexington and Concord at Mt. Vernon, wrote to a friend: “The once happy and peaceful plains of America are now to be either drenched in blood or inhabited by slaves, sad alternative, but can a Virtuous Man hesitate in his choice?”
  
  Since we HAVE been hesitating, while the chains of our Slavery grow stronger each day, for OVER a CENTURY, since TEDDY R, and WILSON, and now Glenn advocates MORE hesitation and PACIFISM on top of it, I simply cannot fit Washington’s Virtuous Man into ANYTHING I am seeing and hearing. Again, Glenn’s Cognitive Dissonance is DEAFENING!

  Because pacifism is usually the right answer most of the time. Anything else has to be a calculation of overwhelming force that will most likely be successful in the short and long term. That is a very sophisticated calculation when the threat is nebulous.

  He’s already answered your question, Mick. Without support from the various States and foreign Allies we’ll lose badly. However, if you think we can win without that support why don’t you get it started?

  There are probably other sources, Mick.
