the fact Tillman walked away from Millions to be the Army.


Otherwise, Tillman was one of many US Army Rangers.....not a single one of Service or death is any more or less valuable, unfortunate, Patriotic or Honorable than Tillmans was.

Certainly it isnt meant to show that Tillman was better.

It is to show that Tillman felt his country was more important than the millions of dollars and he is to be an example to follow, as all the Army Rangers are. Tillman happened to be nationally known at the time. That is about the only difference I can see.....

A good and valid point that should be made. Semper Fi!

Quite the opposite. It showed just how much Pat Tillman valued freedom, and that he recognized his obligation to protect it.
