Pat Tillman's America

James e-mails to add a little different perspective on Pat Tillman:

Hearing about the death of Pat Tillman today, at 27 years old, I was struck by the contrast with another "27 year old kid."

John Kerry recently dismissed his post-Vietnam service slander of his countrymen as murderers, rapists, etc, by saying he was just "a 27 year old kid" when he said those malicious things.

Pat Tillman, at 27 years old, sacrificed a professional football career, millions of dollars, a life of luxury, and his life, to defend his country.

A 27 year old kid.

Yes, John Kerry served honorably, but I just couldn't get over the contrast between these 27 year olds. I want to live in Pat Tillman's America. God Bless him.
