There's already a memorial in this Texas town dedicated to the man that the movie, 'American Sniper', was based on.  And now Texas lawmakers are considering a bill that would name part of a highway after Chris Kyle.

The death of 'American Sniper' Chris Kyle still strikes a chord with many still today.

STEPHENVILLE (AP) -- A Texas jury has rejected the insanity defense of a former Marine in the deaths of famed "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle and another man.

In most years, January tends to be the most boring month of the year for the box office. This is where Hollywood typically sends the movies in which it has the least faith. This is the dumping ground, the place where movies go to die so the studios can concentrate on their Oscar campaigns. However, thanks to ‘American Sniper,’ this January has bucked every trend. It may technically be a 2014 release, but Clint Eastwood’s war film has made the first chunk of 2015 interesting, shattering expectations and threatening to become the highest grossing film of last year in only a few weeks.

"American Sniper" is based on one of the best snipers in American military history and the movie based on his life leaves audiences silenced. My wife and some friends saw this movie yesterday in IMAX at the Carmike Cinema and what happened at the end of the movie stunned me.
