News was released today that the Army is launching a further inquiry into the death of Pat Tillman.  Certainly it is apparent that the circumstances under which Cpl Tillman died are not what they were made out to be initially.   

I do however want to remind everyone that no matter the cause of death, it does not minimize Pat Tillman, what he sacrificed and what he stood for.  Hero is a word thrown around entirely too often but there is no doubt:  Pat Tillman was an American hero in the true meaning of the word.
