Former NFL Player Joins Marines

Jeremy Staat, a fomer roommate of Pat Tillman's at Arizona State University, just finished boot camp to join the U.S. marines.

Staat said he was felt compelled to join the military after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks but Tillman, who was his roommate at Arizona State, advised him to stay with professional football until he qualified for retirement benefits.

It's good to see that despite the media and some Congressmen decrying the war as folly, people still think it's the right thing to do.
