Sad War News

On the radio this morning I heard that Pat Tillman died in Afganistan in a fire fight yesterday. Pat Tillmen was an NFL player that gave up a 3 year, 3 million dollar contract, to join the Army rangers after 9/11. While any soldier dying is sad, human nature makes it more sad to hear of the death of someone whose story we know, a face we are familiar with. And honestly, Pat Tillman's story is just so heroic. A bright light in the world anyway, the guy ignored the lure of big money and fame to do what he believed in--serve his country. Once he made the decision, he refused all interviews and asked for no special treatment. He inspires me to find what I believe and have the integrity to DO it and stick with it.

so sad.
