I had just finished watching a t.v. interview with Marcus Luttrell since a movie version of his story is coming out to theaters  soon. This made me think of this book that my husband had just bought on Kindle.We had purchased both books by Marcus Luttrell and both books about Chris Kyle. When my husband purchased, " The Life and the Legend of Chris Kyle," I didn't realize that it was his story leading up to his tragic death. I thought I'll get a around to reading it after I finish the three other books I'm reading. But then, I thought maybe I'll just check it out before I go to bed. You know, just read a chapter or two.Well, that never happened!  I ended up staying up to read the whole book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. The author, Michael Mooney, did such a great job to honor Chris by his style of writing.I just had to know more. Why did Chris want to become Navy SEAL? How did he meet his wife? What kind of person was the Chris Kyle? I got the answers to those questions and so much more. I loved how the author wrote about Chris' patriotic, fun-loving, and loyal side of his personality.I don't think you will be disappointed to learn more about this incredibly heroic and courageous military veteran. His life story is a testimony about someone who loves country so much that he was even willing to risk his life after he was out of harm's way. Chris Kyle continued to give back to his country by trying to help a veteran in need.  He and his friend were willing to help even though it would cost them their lives. There is no greater love than when a man sacrifices his life for a friend.
