Pat Tillman Master Set - An American Hero

On April 22, 2004, Pat Tillman died during a combat operation in Afghanistan, fighting for our freedom. Pat, who played for the Arizona Cardinals from 1998 through 2001, gave up his lucrative football career after the terrorist attacks on 9/11 to join the Army Rangers. He felt it was his duty to serve his country and therefore, put his life on the line. "Pat Tillman personified all the best values of his country and the NFL," commissioner Paul Tagliabue said. "He was an achiever and leader on many levels who always put his team, his community, and his country ahead of his personal interests." Pat Tillman will be remembered as an American hero.
