The Beloved Pat Tillman

This story of Pat Tillman touched my on many levels. I thought that he was really showing what his country meant to him by turning down the millions of dollars that were offered to him at his signing deal to fight for his country. This article mentioned that he felt like the happenings on September 11th called to him and made him feel like it was something that had to be done which is understandable because it seems like a lot of men and women felt this way in America. He was described in many ways throughout this article but the one description that stuck with me about him was his dedication. He did not quit. And his family proved to be the same way. Even after his death his brother re enlisted even though it proved to be too much to him. But he felt like he had to fight again in his brothers name. His mother proved to be the same way. After Pat's death she fought for answers. Things did not add up for her and she searched for more. I agree with her though and i'm on her side of this story. The things that the army were saying just did not add up and found this to be very sad for his family. I really felt bad for Russ to in the end. He went through so much with Pat's death and then he had to deal with his son's death on top of this. He found a glimpse of hope when his son survived the surgery but when he died a little while later I really felt for him.
This story about Pat really touched me and it just shows us all that anything can happen and if we believe in something we need to be dedicated to it and fight for it.
