More on Tillman

Spoons thinks a fitting tribute to the memory of Pat Tillman is to name the Arizona Cardinals' new stadium after him.

I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand, I think it's a great idea to recognize his sacrifice in this way. On the other hand, Pat himself didn't want any special treatment or attention. Certainly naming a stadium after him would qualify as such. What about all the other soldiers that gave their lives? Pat Tillman wasn't doing anything more than they were doing; they were all serving their country. It seems to me that recognizing him in this way somehow diminishes the importance of the sacrifice made by all those others.

Perhaps a better tribute would be to give the stadium a name that recognizes the sacrifice made by all the members of our armed forces that have given their lives in this war.
