The Other Man Down
A Mother’s Journey After the
‘American Sniper’ Tragedy
by Judy Littlefield
The Other Man Down
Judy Littlefield’s account begins in 2013 after her son, Chad Littlefield, and his friend former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle were gunned down by Eddie Ray Routh at a Texas shooting range. Kyle was well known for his autobiography and film, “American Sniper.” Chad raised in a small town, was a husband, father, and American patriot.
Littlefield relates how she found healing through her faith during a very public trial and the sentencing in 2015 of Routh, a veteran who Chad and Chris were trying to help. Her book is filled with scripture, memories of her son, and the surreal yet real moments she faced.
Judy Littlefield, lives in Texas with her husband, Don, and travels around the nation to raise money and awareness for veterans’ organizations and to keep Chad’s legacy of serving veterans alive. In 2019, she received the prestigious Daughters of the American Revolution Distinguished Citizen Medal.
