True Hero - As I was flipping through the channels this weekend I saw a bit on a guy named Pat Tillman, who was wearing an Arizona Cardinals football uniform and carrying the football toward the goal line. I thought nothing of it and was about to change the channel when the commentator started talking about how this guy gave up a multi-million dollar deal with the Cardinals to become an Army Ranger in the wake of the September 11th attacks. Tillman gave up what most would consider a dream job to get paid $18,000 a year and continually put himself in harm’s way to defend our freedom. Pat Tillman paid the ultimate price for our freedom last week. He died in a firefight in Afghanistan, doing what he felt was his part to combat terrorism and make the world a better place. He is an example of a true hero.
