The Arizona Cardnails are dedicating the plaza around their new arena "The Pat Tillman Freedom Plaza", ASU (Arizona State University) where he played college ball, will be retiring his jersey (so will the Cardnails) and setting up a Pat Tillman Memorial Fund.


There will be several memorials here in AZ for him. The Arizona Diamondbacks (baseball) also did a tribute to him before their last game.

Even though we have never met Pat, we all feel like we know him. He spent 3 1/2 years at ASU, then went on with the Cardnials......we all followed his career and life. We were happy to see him get drafted, happy when he got married, shocked when he walked away from millions of dollars for the Army Rangers, and now very sadden that he lost his life for us. In my opinion HE is a role model........something that children & adults will look up to for a very long time.

Richard, you are so right......we have enough whinny, overpaid, over-rated young atheletes who need to stop a moment and look at Pat Tillman and his acomplishments and then be grateful for even being in professional sports today.
