Last night at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Dallas, Taya Kyle, widow of American Sniper Chris Kyle, was invited to introduce legend Garth Brooks and to express the importance of supporting the military

Brooks was given a Milestone Award for his decades of work during the event and performed his song "All-American Kid," which is about young men and women joining the armed forces and heading off on deployment.

The 2015 ACM Awards set a new record last night as the largest live audience in U.S. history. Chris Kyle's funeral, which was attended by thousands in 2013, was also held at Cowboys Stadium.
