I happen to be in the area so I attended that. All the thought and symbolism put into the statue and area was fantastic.

I’m guessing Bradley Cooper will be first in line to p!$$ on it...in order to completely cement his standing with the Hollyweird Liberal Establishment.

Taya Kyle, widow of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle, posted a heartfelt message on Facebook today, remembering her late husband on his birthday.

“I celebrate you with an ache in my heart and a gratitude beyond all gratitude that God made someone as amazing as you and that I was allowed to love you at all,” Taya wrote. “I love you and hope heaven is throwing one heck of a party for a life well-lived. You earned it!”

“I love you….so much.”

All well and good but a million dollars could have done a lot of good for vets in need.

From what I understand, it is a privately funded memorial.
