I believe Pat Tilman is a hero and a leader. He stood up for what he believed in and ended something that could of secured his life with added benefits. He was living the life most people dreamed about living. Doing something he loved and making a lot of money doing it. For him the army must have been important to drop his football career for.
He is a leader because he is seen as a role model. Someone who gives up the dream life for something he believes in. He believed that the terroist attacks were wrong and he felt it was right to find out who did it. He felt like he could do something more with his life then playing football.
He is seen as a hero because he is going to fight for his country and risk his life doing it. A nice guy going out to find someone who hurt a lot of people. He went and tried to make things right. Even though he died he will always be remembered for the heroism and leadership he shown on and off the field.
