We are in need of authentic leadership on many levels
Saying that talking about her best friend was difficult, Marie Tillman told an audience at the University of Arkansas about the many good qualities of the NFL athlete and Army Ranger.
"Pat was a man with enormous talent. His athletic ability was matched by a deep and complex moral and intellectual side," said Marie Tillman, a featured speaker at the school. "He always tried to do the right thing and he was the first to admit when he didn't."
Pat Tillman was cut down April 22, 2004, by bullets fired by his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan, not by enemy fire, as the military initially claimed. The military said officers knew within hours that Tillman's death was from friendly fire but didn't tell his family or the public for five weeks.
Tillman's death attracted worldwide attention because he had walked away from a huge contract with the Arizona Cardinals to enlist after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
During a congressional hearing Aug. 1, former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and three former generals expressed regret with the Pentagon's delay in telling the truth.
Marie Tillman and her brother-in-law Alex Garwood avoided discussion about the controversy around Tillman's death, saying they wanted to focus on honoring his memory through the work of the Tillman Foundation.
On Wednesday, Marie Tillman said her husband was dynamic and action-oriented, something needed in private and public life.
"We are in need of authentic leadership on many levels," Marie Tillman said.
The heart has it's reasons which reason knows nothing of.

I don't care what you talk about but keep sending letters until they publish one. They're very selective with WHOM they publish because I see the same names over and over. Don't let a few people speak for ALL of us.
