p> GOING HOME br> Re: Paul Beston's Tillman the Great and Reader Mail's Pat Tillman, RIP : /p> p>Thank you for so eloquently putting into words the emotions that I was feeling. Pat Tillman is most definitely a Homeric hero in today's society of athletes who worship money more than honor and personal sacrifice. I wept at his passing, but honor his memory, and hope that more of our young men and women realize what Tillman realized -- that if you aren't willing to lay down your life for what you believe, then what is that life worth living for? Even if it comes with money in the bank, it is more hollow than one can even imagine. br> -- Sarah R. Palmer br> California /p> p> I was going to write regarding Pat Tillman's sacrifice but was unable to complete the letter. I am glad others wrote in to express a lot of the feelings I had over his death. Honor and integrity are alive and well in this nation in people such as Pat Tillman. My faith in my nation has been restored through this man. God Bless Him and I know he is with the Lord right now. br> --
