Pat Tillman

I finished Where Men Win Glory , a 400 page book in 9 days. That has to be a record for me. Usually takes me a month to read a book of that length. After a good movie or book, I like to try and process it for a bit ... look up reviews, background information, and commentary online. Evidenced by how fast I read the book, it really sunk its teeth into me. I've spent a good bit of time, trying to process my feelings about all of it.

I'm not going to write a review about the book because there's just so much to cover, but I'll just say my life is richer from reading about Pat Tillman.

I found this picture online. Right before Tillman was killed, he and his fellow Ranger Bryan O'Neal were under heavy fire from their fellow Rangers and O'Neal was hunkered into the ground praying. Tillman says to him, why are you doing that? How is that going to help you?

Tillman's atheist component doesn't detract from all the solid virtue that truly defines him, but I thought it was a fascinating item. That's his brother Kevin on the right.
