    We've got to do a better job of getting soldiers help after they come home from war zones. It shouldn't be a political thing. It's heartbreaking that Kyle was trying to do something outside the system, which is probably the only way to get through to some of these guys, and this ends up being the result. Really sad.

    Following a memorial service at Cowboys Stadium yesterday, Kyle was laid to rest at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin today after a 200-mile funeral procession from his hometown of Midlothian.
