Character: Pat Tillman
The main character of this book, Pat Tillman, is one of the most interesting people. Being the poster boy for the war in Iraq covered the true Pat Tillman, a man of morals and determination. Growing up in southern California, his family drilled into him the morals that make him strive to become better both physically, mentally, and emotionally. He always looked for a new challenge. The challenge he enjoyed most was running marathons and triathlons. Despite being a bulky football player, he ran everyday, even on vacations. We are drawn to him because he is an ideal American, both morally driven and determined to achieve his goals. In this book, there have not been any characters that we cannot stand because it is mostly about an American hero and a war without specific characters.
