Congeries of cross connected concepts
Pat Tillman is an example of why we owe so much to all those who serve in our armed forces. Tillman gave up a lucrative professional football contract to serve in Iraq and was killed there, in an ambush, last Thursday. I’ll quote Robert Tagorda, who says it better than I can:
On the one hand, as countless observers point out, he redefines the meaning of military service because his path to Afghanistan is unique: he reminds us that our cause is even nobler than we believe. On the other hand, he simply represents the story of all service members: he serves as a lens through which we see and understand that every warrior gives up something valuable.
