"One of the many heros..."
I made it a point today to talk to my three boys about Patrick Tillman. There are not many people in today's American culture who would give up fame and fortune to pursue an endeavor becuase they feel it is the right thing to do, regardless of the cost and sacrifice that might be required. Patrick did exactly that, as many others have done, although more anonymously. I was hoping for a sunny day, with a colorful and flowing flag to photograph. Instead it is cold, gray, and snowing. Just as well, as these conditions better fit my mood. Regardless of your thoughts on the government's stance, please take some time to pay respect to our troops who have placed honor and service above all other things in their lives. I intend for my children to learn to respect those who serve their country and their community.
