Sponsor a wreath for $17 and “do good twice” by supporting Sam Fuhrman Burns’ mission to aid the Taya & Chris Kyle Foundation (TACK-F) and share the Wreaths Across America framework, which is to:

Remember, Honor, and Teach.

Would you like to sponsor a wreath on a veteran’s grave this holiday season? Sam’s donation page is an extension of the TACK-F and one wreath donation/sponsorship is $17 and $5 goes to the TACK-F, an organization very close to her heart.

Wreath placement will occur on December 17, 2022 at veteran cemeteries nationwide in a mission to NEVER FORGET our veterans. We have a special focus on the Texas State Cemetery, Chris Kyle's final resting place, but our team members will be participating in various cemeteries across the nation.

The Foundation:

TACK-F was founded by Taya Kyle to honor the life and legacy of her husband, “American Sniper”, Chris Kyle. Chris and Taya knew first-hand the challenges military and first responder families encounter from their lives of service. Prior to Chris’ untimely passing in February 2013, he was developing his vision for CKFF programs to support active duty military, veterans and first responder marriages and families. Today, Taya and the CKFF team are fulfilling Chris’ vision through the development and delivery of life-changing, impactful programs and services to service couples across the U.S.

All too often the family support network for those serving our country, either as a member of our armed services or as a first responder, can be overlooked or forgotten. As a nation, we are beginning to discuss and understand how a life of service and sacrifice can negatively contribute to frayed marriages and fractured families. Together our work is creating a positive effect for those families by providing much needed support. At TACK-F, we do not believe serving your country or your community should mean sacrificing your family.

The Mission:

The mission of the Taya and Chris Kyle Foundation is to Honor God, Country and Families who serve.

It is focused on changing the world for this generation and the next by recognizing and strengthening military and first responder marriages through unique programs and powerful partnerships

The team develops and delivers programs that support having a country with thriving and connected military and first responder marriages.

The TACK-F team are professionals who understand what it means to live a service-oriented life, who believe in the power that God, Country and Family can provide to an individual and a marriage, and create programs and experiences which will strengthen and support service marriages and families.

The Taya and Chris Kyle Foundation has been built on four solid pillars:

Loyalty: Committed to God, Country, and Family

Empowerment: Empowering Families to Thrive

Integrity: Honesty and Transparency in our Programs, Funding and Communications

Excellence: Reflecting the service excellence that our constituents provide in service to their communities and country

Thank you for supporting The Taya and Chris Kyle Foundation and Wreaths Across America.
