We gave my son Tillman as his second middle name because Tillman gave up fame and fortune because his love of his country was greater.

Damn...you've gotta admire...*hugely* admire,in fact...a guy who gave up millions per year to join the Armed Forces.And on top of that he was killed by friendly fire.

Courage and selflessness of that magnitude is seldom seen today.

I just tried to share the article to Facebook and couldnt because somebody already reported it as "abusive" - how disgusting.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends, RIP Corporal Tillman.
