Chris did four tours of duty as a Navy SEAL and, ultimately lost his life at a shooting range in Texas. Kyle continues to rise above her grief and pain with a family she loves and a platform honoring Chris’ life.

Kyle became a New York Times best-selling author with her first book, "American Wife," and in 2019 released her second book – "American Spirit" – a collection of short stories chronicling the lives of inspirational people she has met through her travels, all of whom show the American Spirit is as strong as ever.
