State Rep. Brooks Landgraf filed a new piece of legislation on Thursday in honor of Texas Military Heroes Day.

HB 1483 calls for Highway 191 in Ector County to be named “Chris Kyle Memorial Highway.”

Kyle, the famous slain US Navy SEAL sniper was born in Odessa in 1974, according to the release.

Since his death, Odessans have created the Chris Kyle Memorial Plaza on Highway 191, and now Landgraf is taking the initiative to honor Kyle further with the changing of Highway 191 in Ector County.
