Chris&#39; story is told in the book and movie American Sniper, which chronicles his life with family and service during many combat tours as a United States Navy SEAL. Taya continues to rise above her grief and pain with her kids, Colton and McKenna Kyle. They use their platforms to honor Chris&#39;s life and build on what they learned through their life with him and their tremendous grief following his death. Taya continues Chris&#39;s legacy of serving those who serve us through their family&#39;s non-profit TACK-F, Taya and Chris Kyle Family - Service Marriage Strong. Taya also provides hope through speaking engagements and writing. Taya became a New York Times best-selling author with her first book, American Wife, and in 2019 released her second book &ndash; American Spirit &ndash; a collection of short stories chronicling the lives of inspirational people she has met through her travels who show the American Spirit is as strong as ever. Her first in a series of Children&#39;s books, Prayers for Bears, was released in April 2024 with Bailey the Grateful Bear. Please join her on social media @TayaKyle on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and X so she can stay in touch with helpful tips on Faith, Family, and Healing. We are thrilled to welcome Taya Kyle as our keynote speaker for Paws &amp; Pearls Journey into Healing Gala. We cannot wait to share this unforgettable evening with all of you at the Paws &amp; Pearls Gala.&nbsp;<img height="16" width="16" alt="🐾" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tde/1/16/1f43e.png" fr-original-style="" fr-original-class="fr-draggable" style="cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;"><img height="16" width="16" alt="💎" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tf9/1/16/1f48e.png" fr-original-style="" fr-original-class="fr-draggable" style="cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;">
