The Palins offer condolences to Chris Kyle's family, reflect on their relationship with him

Sarah and Todd Palin shared their condolences with the family of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who they knew personally.

From the post on her Facebook page:

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and many friends of former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle tonight. Todd and I first met Chris in Pella, Iowa, when he helped out with security for the premiere of the film “The Undefeated.” And later we became friends with Chris when he was on “Stars Earn Stripes” with Todd. Chris was a wonderful man, a good friend, and a true American hero who loved our country and served honorably. He was loved and admired by so many, and he will never be forgotten.

– Todd and Sarah Palin
