I was at the AZ Cardinals game when they honored Tillman. I have two #40 pins and a great memory. This was a man. His family/friends/etc should be honored.
It's very hard to experience someone so alive and vital...and heroic die before our eyes and become transformed into a symbol of all the hopes, dreams, and ideals we hold so dear. And of our own mortality.
Let's pray we never get over Pat's passing.
