The Pat Tillman Foundation is a very supportive organization to the scholars, and the scholarship offers you the opportunity to be part of a wide network of veterans looking to improve themselves by furthering their educations. That network has been invaluable to me during medical school. Good luck with your applications.

I love the quote on the top of that image: "Somewhere inside us we hear a voice. It leads us in the direction of who we wish to become. But it is up to us whether or not to follow."

Just plain excellent!! I think we all have that inner voice telling us that we're capable of doing more, of being all we can be. The piece that we sometimes lack is the drive to listen to that voice, to get out there, and to git 'er done so that we actually do become all we can be.

I thank the Army, in large part, for instilling that drive in me. Or maybe a better choice of words would be "awakening that drive within me." As SMs and vets, we all have it, it's just a matter of executing the "mission."
