Since the POTUS and all his cronies has refused to honor this fallen hero, I propose WE honor Chris Kyle by nominating him, posthumously, for the honor of the Citizen's Medal.   

Who deserves the Citizens Medal?
Each year President Obama honors a handful of extraordinary Americans with the Citizens Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors. The Citizens Medal recognizes Americans for exemplary deeds of service outside of their regular jobs -- people who feed the needy, who take care of our veterans, or who support  our children.
Is there someone in your life who deserves to be recognized by President Obama?
There are 9 days left before we close nominations on the 2013 Citizens Medal. Complete this easy nomination process before the public submission period closes:
Will you nominate a hero in your community?
Last year, people like you nominated over six thousand Americans from across the country and staff at the White House reviewed every single submission. Here are just a few examples:
 

• Mary Jo Copeland has offered a safety net for Minneapolis families since 1985 -- offering food, clothing, shelter, and medical assistance to the needy.
   
• Adam Burke, an Iraq combat veteran, runs "Veterans Farm," a 19-acre, handicap-accessible farm that helps returning veterans.
   
• Janice Jackson founded a Baltimore nonprofit to serve women with varying degrees of disabilities.

Citizenship is fundamental to who we are as Americans. That's why, at the last award ceremony, President Obama stressed the role it plays:
"We're home to 315 million people who come from every background, who worship every faith, who hold every single point of view," he said. "But what binds us together, what unites us is a single sacred word: citizen."
There are thousands of people across the country making a difference, but we need your help to find them. Nominate a hero in your community today:

I realize this may be 'off topic', but I wanted to post this in 'general discussion' so it can receive the most views possible.  Maybe share on facebook and other outlets to get the word out, if you think this is a good idea.

As a Afghanistan vet, I think that this is a great idea! It would easily tons of support!

how bout we honor someone who was more visible in the gun rights struggle?  nothing against Chris Kyle, but this could potentially be a platform for politcking.  and you KNOW people like fienstein, Pelosi and the Brady campaign guys will get nods from someone.

Nominate Wayne LaPierre!  That would be interesting.

Let's do this.

Not my intention to make it a political gun thing.  Just honoring a REAL hero.

Otto Skorzeny was a real hero, too.....
