I post this in the name of Michael, to honor one who has made the supreme sacrifice.
Pat Tillman
Walked away from a 3.5 Million dollar NFL Football contract after the 9-11 Terrorist attacks on our country. He joined US Army with his brother and volunteered to become one of the Elite Army Rangers. He accepted no interviews upon his enrollment and departure, he was not doing what he was for Celebrity but for Patriotism. He walked away from the glitz and glamour and the multimillion dollar lifestyle of the idolized American sports figure (Hero's ?) to protect our freedom. "What was this guy crazy to walk away from all this to wallow through the mud cold and rain, to fight evil"? No, not at all, he was a true Hero!
Today, hold onto your babies real tight, hug and kiss your young boys and girls, call your adult children and tell them just how much you do love them. Because, today there is a Mom & Dad who have given the ultimate gift to a Free Nation, a son, so that yours and mine can Grow Safe and Live Free.
"A true Hero gives of himself selflessly in the service of others" Pat Tillman did just this!
Just thought I'd share my thoughts with you today.
Your Friend,
Michael
