On February 2 at a gun range in Texas, Chris Kyle, America's most lethal sniper who also happened to be an author, was allegedly gunned down by a veteran he had tried to befriend. Chris' friend was also shot and killed at the same time. 

Today, thousands of mourners packed Cowboys Stadium to pay their respects. Randy Travis was also on hand to sing for those in attendance. It's not clear how Randy came to sing at the service, but according to reports Chris' wife had mentioned that Whisper My Name was a meaningful song for the couple so Randy sang it as well as Amazing Grace.

Randy told the gathered mourners that he hadn't had the chance to meet the 38-year-old former Navy SEAL, but wished that he had. Funeral services are set to be held tomorrow for Chris.
