Early reports are saying that Pat Tillman was killed in Iraq. I'm sure there will be more to come, and you can all check the major news outlets for the latest. I have to get to studying, but I thought I'd leave you with a good article I found on him:

Tillman Follows the Beat of a Different Drum

May he rest in peace.

Update: Baldilocks has a challenge to all of us who were moved by Tillman's story.

Yes I just blogged about this local hero too. But he was killed in Afghanistan not Iraq. He had enlisted right after 9/11

It is a very sad story. But what an inspirational, courageous person. In a world where people are so materialistic and concerned with only succeeding financially, here is a guy that gave up millions and fame in the NFL to follow his heart and do something for his country. Unbelievable. He is a true hero in my book.
