Yesterday was the Pat Tillman honor run. I participated in San Antonio with 40 others. It is a 4.2 mile run to honor his life. The ASU Alumni association sponsors it nationwide. The big one is in AZ. Thanks for bringing it back Bill.

Originally posted by Bill in San Jose View PostI don't know if the national media will pick this up, so I wanted to post. Pat Tillman, who quit his pro football career with the Cardinals and joined the Army Rangers and died in a friendly-fire shooting in Afghanistan was a local 'kid', and grew up in my neighborhood. When he got a haircut, we used the same barber.
This article was posted about a book his wife wrote. She has re-married and has a new life and family and talks about a letter he left to read in the event he did not come home.
I was not aware that tomorrow night is the 1st Pat Tillman Legacy Classic football game at the high school he attended, walking distance from my house. I may attend- with the 48-star American flag that was my wife's Grandfathers (WWI and WWII veteran) on a long PVC pole to wave proudly.
God bless American and all those who served our great country.

Hero for sure. So is his family, his father, grandfather, uncles all served. I think his brother was serving the same time he was killed.
His life is an inspiration.
