Chris Kyle Day

In Texas, ground-hog day is being remembered as “Chris Kyle Day”, through a proclamation by Texas Governor Gregg Abbott:

 Texas Governor Gregg Abbott on "Chris Kyle Day"
"We Honor are Honorable Troops"

 "Chris Kyle Day Proclamation"

Ground Hog Day: According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will persist for six more weeks.
