[KenWittlief]

who knows how many lives he has already altered by his work on the other side of the world

and how many others will choose to following in his footsteps

I think not so much that he did this for his country, but for people in another part of the world that he felt it was his privaledge to serve and protect.

also its not that Tillman was any better than anyone else, but its clear he had nothing to gain personally by putting his sports career aside and serving humanity this way.

Some people lay down their lives for others all at once

and some lay down their lives one day at time.
