“And Tillman's last words? The soldier with him at the time poignantly recalls how Tillman saved his life even while his screams couldn't spare his own. To his buddies but 40 yards away who were unloading artillery into his chest and head he screamed, "I'm fucking Pat Tillman, why are you shooting at me? I'm fucking Pat Tillman!”

Pat Tillman’s War

Pat Tillman died nine years ago today.

“Passion is what makes life interesting, what ignites our soul, drives our curiosity, fuels our love and carries our friendships, stimulates our intellect, and pushes our limits…A passion for life is contagious and uplifting. Passion cuts both ways…Those that make you feel on top of the world are equally able to turn it upside down…In my life I want to create passion in my own life and with those I case for. I want to feel, experience, and live every emotion. I will suffer through the bad for the heights of the good.”

—Pat Tillman, professional football player and Army Ranger
