I'm afraid it is.
This Ranger could have made millions by remaining in the NFL. Instead, he took a bullet for all of us.
We need to earn his sacrifice.
Be Seeing You,
Chris

Jim Mik. also said that this was announced after his parents were notified of his death.

May he rest in peace in the arms of the Lord. This man was what heros are made of. The type of person that you want your children to look up to and try to immulate.

I haven't felt this bad since 9/11. When ever someone looks up the word Hero in the dictionary there shoud be a picture of Pat Tillman there. This is really sad, a great, great man.
To: jtminton
He had it all. Instead he gave all. That is a true hero.

This man gave up a career full of personal gratification to fight for America. I truly admired him then and more so now. God bless him.

Yes, he joined after 9/11. Wanted no publicity. Jim Mik. said he was with the Rangers. Left a lucrative NFL career to serve his country. WOW, hero status, as are all of the men and women who serve our country.

What a true Hero, I didnt know about this guy.
May the Lord comfort his grieving family.
To: TomGuy
Confusing--CNN first said he died in Iraq; is now saying he died in Afghanistan.
Barbara Starr is reporting he died in action in southeastern Afghanistan yesterday. On a mission to mop up remnants of Taliban & al Qaeda. A number of Afghan soldiers were also killed in the action. Pentagon will not announce officially under family notification procedures which gives a 24 waiting period until official announcement.
