The truth is always more heroic than the hype.

I grew up in Palestine, West Virginia, which is mostly a farming community; there aren't a lot of jobs.

I had the good fortune and opportunity to come home and to tell the truth; many soldiers, like Pat Tillman… did not have that opportunity. The truth of war is not always easy. The truth is always more heroic than the hype.

The truth is always more heroic than the hype.

I remember the first time I put on the Army uniform. I just felt like a totally different person - I felt proud.

I don't think any war is worth having our soldiers killed.

Honesty has always been very important to me.
