#TBT In the aftermath of 9/11, Pat Tillman left the Arizona Cardinals to join the United States Army Special Forces. He was killed in Afghanistan in 2004. A foundation started by his family and bearing his name has raised millions that go to scholarships for military families.
The picture is from inside Engine Company 10 and Ladder Company 10 on 124 Liberty Street, across the street from the World Trade Center site. The Ten House was nearly destroyed on 9/11. They’ve done fundraisers for the Tillman Foundation.
I was one of several folks around the country who raised money for the Foundation by running the NYC Marathon (verrry slowly) in 2010. Our team was invited to visit FDNY’s famous “Ten House” the day before the race. It was an honor to spend a little bit of time with them.
