I've always wondered if there was a god. And now I know there is -- and it's me

First I am saddened by this young mans death and in no way intend to impunge his honor or grace. Second I must say that I have never supported us invading Iraq the "way" we did and for the "reasons " we did, but also feel as I did during Vietnam....though we shouldn't be there....we must always support are men who ARE there. Is Pat a hero? Most Definately! Quote:
But because he gave up safety, and several million dollars at a minimum to serve us civilians makes him no more special then those that also gave up their futures, their lives, their current and possible future families for what they belived... Is Pat a Hero? YES But no more then any other brave soul that believed in us and served in what they believed was our defense...whether they were among the the 704 that died for us, or the tens of thousands that so far have survived....they ARE ALL HERO'S! As is any person who gave of themselves for another. Pat Is a hero in my book...not because of his celebrity...not because he gave up millions..but for he as so many others were willing to give up their lifes for me even though I did not believe in their cause. |

Yeah - he is a hero & it is a shame, but the sad thing is that he didn't want any of this media coverage - alive or dead.
After 9-11 he said he was gonna quit football & go into active duty. After he made that statement, he never gave another interview. He didn't want his deciding to go into the military to be a "big deal" just because he was an NFL player. |

He was an example of the old style hero. He didn't want glory and fame for himself. He wanted to serve his country that afforded him so many opportunities.
Most of the young men and women serving their country are just as much hero's. It's a shame that in times like these that people can't get the proper perspective on duty, honor, and loyalty. Which is why his efforts make him so outstanding. |
