[edit] Biography

Pat Tillman Memorial Decal worn throughout the NFL from September 19, 2004 to the end of the 2004 season

Pat Tillman (Patrick Daniel Tillman) was born on November 6, 1976 in Fremont, California. After going to high school at Leland (San Jose, CA), Tillman attended Arizona State University where he played linebacker. Tillman made his professional debut in the NFL in 1998 with the Arizona Cardinals. He played for the Arizona Cardinals for his entire 4 year career. Most people believe that 2000 was Pat Tillman's best year.

In May 2002, eight months after the September 11, 2001, attacks and after completing the fifteen remaining games of the 2001 season which followed the attacks (at a salary of $512,000 per year), Tillman turned down a contract offer of $3.6 million over three years from the Cardinals to enlist in the U.S. Army. On April 22, 2004, he was killed in a friendly fire incident while on patrol in Sperah, Afghanistan. Tillman was the first professional football player to be killed in combat since the death of Bob Kalsu of the Buffalo Bills, who died in the Vietnam War in 1970. Tillman was posthumously promoted from Specialist to Corporal. He also received posthumous Silver Star and Purple Heart medals.
