Patrick Daniel Tillman Jr. was an American professional football player for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League (NFL) who left his sports career and enlisted in the United States Army in May 2002 in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. His service in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as his subsequent death, were the subject of national attention. This increased after it was revealed that he was killed by friendly fire.

Tribute to Cpl Tillman at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, Georgia. The plaque that was initially displayed inaccurately stated Tillman was in an enemy ambush. The plaque has since been corrected to accurately reflect the circumstances surrounding Corporal Tillman's death.
A memorial to Tillman was created at Sun Devil Stadium, where he played football for the Sun Devils and the Cardinals.
