WASHINGTON D.C. (CBSDFW.COM) - Some veterans are not happy about one lawmakers push to honor a Texas hero.
US Congressman Roger Williams wants the president to give Chris Kyle the "Medal of Honor."
"Chris gave the ultimate sacrifice and served his nation with distinction and bravery while saving countless American lives."
Some veterans have been weighing in on twitter with one saying, "He did nothing to earn the "Medal of Honor", according to the Washington Post.
Kyle served four tours of duty in Iraq and is credited with the most confirmed kills in US military history.
A jury convicted Eddie Routh of his murder almost a week ago.
