THE TILLMAN STORY
When Pat Tillman gave up his professional football career to join the Army Rangers in 2002, he became an instant symbol of patriotic fervor and unflinching duty. But the truth about Pat Tillman is far more complex, and ultimately far more heroic, than the caricature. And when the government tried to turn his death into propaganda, they took on the wrong family. From her home in Northern California, Pat’s mother, Dannie Tillman, led the family’s crusade to reveal the truth beneath the mythology of their son’s life and death. THE TILLMAN STORY resounds with emotion and insight, and goes beyond an indictment of the government to touch on themes as timeless as the notion of heroism itself.

U.N. INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE.
The International Day of Peace was established by a U.N. resolution in 1981, and in 2002, September 21 was declared the permanent official worldwide date for "commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples .... as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace." The day has grown to include millions of people in all parts of the world, and each year events are organized to commemorate and celebrate this day. Events range in scale from private gatherings to public concerts and forums where hundreds of thousands of people participate.
