Pat Tillman Remembered: For Love of Country and Why Thoughts of Muhammad Ali Surface

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 5, 2004 -- As we learned late last week, Pat Tillman, of NFL fame, died an Army Ranger during a battle in Afghanistan. Tillman became the first known face of the thousand who have died since combat began in both Afghanistan and Iraq.



Tillman is our reminder that life is bigger than sports. He, in life and now death, has just become this generations and this war�s symbol of sacrifice. It is obvious that Tillman understood that a man is not measured by his accomplishments on the field, but is measured by the way his lives his life.

Not since Vietnam has an athlete sacrificed so much for personal belief. Muhammad Ali, Olympic Champion, World Champion, and possibly the greatest fighter of all time, sacrificed boxing, refused the draft and went to prison to uphold his beliefs.



While Tillman and Ali fought from opposite ends of the spectrum, pacifism and combat, both fought for the most valued possession American�s have, freedom.
