Two decades after Pat Tillman’s death in Afghanistan, questions still linger. ESPN’s E:60 revisits the story of the NFL player who walked away from millions to serve his country, only to die by friendly fire. Airing Thursday, November 7th at 7 pm ET, the program promises fresh perspectives and previously unheard voices.
Tillman’s mother, Mary “Dannie” Tillman, speaks candidly about her relentless pursuit of accountability within the military. The program also secures an exclusive interview with former Secretary of the Army Pete Geren, breaking his 15-year silence on the events surrounding Tillman’s death and its aftermath.
Most significantly, members of Tillman’s platoon offer firsthand accounts of the day he died, providing chilling details and sharing the burden they’ve carried ever since. E:60 goes beyond the headlines and the hero worship to examine the human cost of war and the enduring search for meaning in the face of tragedy.
