Pat Tillman RC

[BamaFan]

Well Said SupplyStud and Haybierman as well,
I have this card, well actually I have the Regular Non Glossy sitting on my Entertainment Center along with my Personal Collection. My Daughter and son wear Pat Tillman wristbands they bought from a local church. Here's a link for those who would like a Tillman wristband http://www.pattillmanfoundation.net/...wristbands.php also the wristbands are free, but donations are accepted.
How many of us would give up Millions to serve our country? Id like to think we all would, but if it truly came down to it could you turn down Millions to serve? Like I said Id like to think I could but if I were in Tillman's shoes Im ashamed to say I dont think I could have made the difficult decision that he made with ease.
God Bless Pat Tillman and the Millions of other around the world selflessly giving their time and in some cases their lives so they we can live such priveledged lives.

I for one will never forget the sacrifices made by the Men and Women of our Armed Forces.
-Ryan

Supplystud has inspired me to share one of my favorite quotes.. a little John Stuart Mill for ya...

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

Tillman was a true American, with a moral character rarely seen anymore. How many of us could honestly turn down a multi-million dollar contract and become an Army Ranger knowing you will be in the line of fire almost every day of your life? That takes more than courage. It takes a heart the size of Montana and a character beyong words. I salute Pat Tillman, and every other fallen soldier. If it wasnt for them, we wouldnt have this great hobby or any of the other freedoms we enjoy every day.

I know this is a sports card site, and Im sure some jackass will say something smart, and a Mod will probably tell me not to write this kind of stuff, but people like Pat Tillman need to be remembered, and people need to be reminded.

There's NO WAY something like this should get censored..Informative, insightful....Great Post!!!

This could be like the Adam Vinateri RC....where it books so high for a set that's so common. Or because the card itself is the only rookie.

I think Kurt Warner has a rookie like this. And if we can recall, Kevin Maas and Scott Erickson was hot like this too at a point in their careers.

Sad exploiting the Countrys love for a fallen soldier.

It`s hard to think that Veterans Day in this country isn`t more celebrated. The ignorance of many people!
