Remembering Pat Tillman on Memorial Day
The Arizona Cardinals drafted Tillman in the seventh round of the 1998 NFL Draft out of Arizona State. He played in 60 games for the Cardinals in four seasons (1998-2001).
After the attacks on September 11, 2001, and the ensuing invasion of Afghanistan, Tillman was moved to assess his priorities. He elected to turn down a contract with the Cardinals and enlist in the army at the end of the 2001 season. In July 2002, Tillman enlisted in the U.S. Army for a three-year term.
His unit was ambushed as it made its way through the rugged canyon terrain of eastern Afghanistan on the evening of April 22, 2004. Tillman's heroic attempt to give cover to fellow soldiers as they escaped the canyon led to his untimely and tragic death.
On this day, we think of Tillman and the men and women who laid their lives out on the line for all of us.
