The state of Texas is giving former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle a special honor: he will be buried in in the elite State Cemetery in Austin next week. On Monday, Kyle will be remembered in a public ceremony at Cowboy’s Stadium at 1:00p.m. Among the thousands expected is State Captain for the Mike Lambert.

"This man is a true American hero," Lambert says. "We’re not giving anything to Chris, we’re paying back what we owe to that man."

There will be a private ceremony for the family at 10:00am and doors will open to the public around noon.  Officials say security will be tight. Be sure to tune in to ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº's Morning Edition for more details on the ceremony.
