Pat Tillman was a professional American football player in the NFL who gave up his athletic career to enlist in the US Army following the September 11th attacks. He served several tours of combat before being killed in Afghanistan.
Killjan Anderson is the Executive Director of the Pat Tillman Foundation. The organization honors Pat's legacy by supporting active-duty service members, veterans, and their spouses with academic scholarships, a national network, and professional development opportunities.
“Working for an organization that is out to celebrate someone's legacy is serious business. It puts a lot of pressure on the staff, and we welcome that pressure, but it is a lot to live up to.”
