    I woke up today to hear about the murder of the decorated SEAL Sniper and Craft International Co-Founder, Chris Kyle. I hope justice is swift and harsh for his killer. I was privileged to meet this great hero at a Corporate Party that I was invited to, in Las Vegas a few years back. Truly a great American. Damn Shame.

    Damn!!! R.I.P. Chris. He wrote a damn good book. If no one has read it you need to get on it immediately.

    So far the story is another vet with PTSD shot Chris and another vet helping out at a shooting range. Terrible news. I'd be willing to bet money on the suspect having unsuccessful or no treatment whatsoever at the local VA facility. Much, much more needs to be done. Having been the son of a Vietnam Vet with PTSD, I can tell you the frustration caused by the lack of resources and the lack of desire to help from the VA and all of the administrations voted in. They say they want to help until they get the votes, then... Nothing. He was the epitome of a soldier and he will be missed.
