Two years after Chris Kyle's death, he received a state day today in his honor. Governor Greg Abbott signed a proclamation declaring February 2nd "Chris Kyle Day" in Texas where he lived after serving in Iraq. Kyle was murdered by veteran Marine Eddie Ray Routh who is said to have been hospitalized for mental illnesses, including post-traumatic stress disorder. Mental illnesses caused by war first became noticed in World War 1. The invention of new weapons such as machine guns, grenades, and poison gas led to more violent deaths. Some soldiers started to become emotionally and mentally unstable after experiencing such horrific things.
