From Football Star to Army Ranger, He Dedicated His Life to Something Greater
Pat Tillman’s life was a testament to the power of courage, leadership, and service. A gifted athlete, he rose to stardom as an All-American football player and NFL star. But when the call to serve his country came after 9/11, Pat didn’t hesitate. He walked away from the spotlight and enlisted in the Army Rangers.
On the battlefield, Pat’s leadership and selfless dedication to his fellow soldiers earned him their unwavering respect. He believed in the power of education to transform lives, and he and his wife established the Pat Tillman Foundation to support veterans and their families in pursuing their educational goals.
Tragically, Pat lost his life in 2004 while serving in Afghanistan. But his legacy lives on through the foundation’s work and the countless lives he inspired. Pat’s story reminds us that true greatness lies not in fame or fortune, but in unwavering commitment to service beyond self.
Each year, the Orange Shoe Movement rallies the Pest Share community around a worthy cause, united by our shared values of service and giving back. This year, we proudly step alongside the Pat Tillman Foundation, honoring the legacy of a true American hero and empowering veterans to build brighter futures through education.
With your help, we can make sure that every child gets the resources they need to succeed in school and beyond.
