"It is Pat’s birthday on November 6, and elections are the day after. It gets me thinking about a conversation I had with Pat before we joined the military. He spoke about the risks with signing the papers. How once we committed, we were at the mercy of the American leadership and the American people. How we could be thrown in a direction not of our volition. How fighting as a soldier would leave us without a voice… until we get out.This piece is written by Kevin Tillman. His brother Pat, if you recall, is a former NFL star football player who joined the Army after 9-11, was sent to Afghanistan and was killed.
Much has happened since we handed over our voice:"
Kevin writes about the need for real change on November 7th. It's worth the read.
