"I wanted to be here to represent Chris obviously, and it's not the ideal time to do that," Kyle told ABC's Robin Roberts in a red carpet interview, referencing the ongoing murder trial of the man accused of killing him. "But I still wanted to embrace everything that he should be here to do with me."

Dog tags that appear to have belonged to her late husband, along with what looks like a cross.
