I am the deadliest sniper in history with 255 confirmed sniper kills and an $80, 000 bounty on my head.

Hi, I am Chris Kyle and this is my story.

I am the real life inspiration behind the film American Sniper.

I was a highly decorated US Navy SEAL sniper.

Born on April 8, 1974 in Odessa, Texas, my passion for serving my mom's country led me to join the Navy in 1999.

During my military career, I served 4 deployments to Iraq between 2003 and 2009.

I gained a reputation as 1 of the most lethal snipers in American history, with 255 confirmed kills and many more unconfirmed, earning him the nickname the Devil of Ramadi among enemy insurgents.

My role as a sniper was to provide overwatch and protection to my fellow SEALs and Coalition forces on the ground.

My incredible precision, patience and marksmanship skills saved countless lives and turned the tide of numerous engagements.

However, the toll the war had on me was profound.

Witnessing the horrors of combat and experiencing the loss of friends and comrades took a heavy emotional toll.

I grappled with the moral complexities of my role as a sniper and the impact it had on my personal life.

After retiring from the Navy in 2009, I dedicated myself to helping veterans suffering from the physical and psychological wounds of war.

Tragically, on February 2nd, 2013, My friend Chad and I were shot and killed at a shooting range in Texas by a troubled veteran we were trying to help.

My untimely death shook the military community and the nation as a whole, leaving behind a legacy of bravery, service, and sacrifice.
