Default America Loses a True Hero

Very sad to hear that Pat Tillman was killed in Afghanastan. Tillman was so moved by the tragic events of Sept. 11 that he walked away from a multi-million dollar NFL contract and joined the Army Rangers. His brother who was a minor league baseball prospect also enlisted and is still serving.

Here's a link to the story:

God bless Pat, who gave the ultimate sacrifice for all of us.

Any soldier who dies defending liberity is a hero in my book, but Pat was truly someone special.

word to that. giving up millions of dollars to play a game, and instead, putting his life on the line to defend the integrity of the world.
