New Species CrossFit will perform today’s W.O.D. in honor of Chris Kyle who was killed by gunshot on Saturday, February 2nd at a shooting range in Erath County, TX, reportedly by a veteran that Kyle had brought to the range to help deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. Also killed was Kyle’s friend, Mr. Chad Littlefield. Chris Kyle was 38.
Serving 10 years as a Navy Seal, Kyle was the recipient of two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medals and one Navy and Marine Corps commendation; Kyle served four tours of duty in Iraq and is survived by his wife and two children.
In Chris’ last interview, he spoke about how he wanted to be remembered, his legacy: “I would love for people to be able to think of me as a guy who stood up for what he believed in and helped make a difference for the vets,” he said. “You know, somebody who cared so much about them that he wanted them taken care of.”
