Number 40




Patrick Daniel Tillman (November 6, 1976 - April 22,2004) was a professional football player, who gave up his career and enlisted in the United States Army in May of 2002 in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.

He became an Army Ranger and served multiple tours in combat before he was killed by friendly fire in the remote mountains of Afghanistan on this day in 2004. He was 27 years old.

Thank you Pat. All gave some, some gave all.

Old Chief Sends,
