The south steps of Arizona State's football stadium became a shrine in the days after Pat Tillman's death, covered in flags and flowers, signs and mementos.
"The Pat Tillman Foundation thanks Jason LaBarbera for his unique tribute to Pat and his creativity in bringing awareness to the sacrifices of all military families and veterans and we're honored that he selected the Tillman Military Scholars program as his charity of choice," Marie Tillman said.
"He didn't necessarily encourage people verbally, but through the way he lived his life," said Marie Tillman, who lives in Chicago and will release a memoir next June. "For the people around him, his friends and family, the people he encountered throughout his football career, he had such a drive, such a desire to improve himself that people just sort of saw that and just wanted to be the same way."
