Where Men Win Glory

Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Krakauer

Pat Tillman walked away from a lucrative NFL career to enlist in the US Army after 9/11. Two years later he was killed, allegedly by friendly fire.

Kraukauer uses Tillman’s own words from journals and letters, as well as interviews with his family and friends, to show the kind of man he was. He also explores the controversy surrounding his shooting.

I enjoyed reading about Tillman's love for his country and the upstanding man that he was. He got so much more attention because of his NFL career. However, there are so many men and women serving in the military that have these same morals and make sacrifices to serve. If only they could get as much recognition.
