Tillman will be honored at Cardinals opening game.

The Arizona Cardinals will honor Pat Tillman with a special halftime tribute during the first home game of the 2004 season. The tribute to the former Cardinals safety who was killed April 22 in Afghanistan while serving with the U.S. Army Rangers, also will recognize other Arizonans who have died in the line of duty. Arizona plays Super Bowl champion New England in the Cardinals' home opener on Sept. 19. Tillman earlier this summer posthumously was given the Audie Murphy Patriotism Award. His family has created a foundation "to honor Pat's memory and carry forward his legacy," said Marie Tillman, Pat's wife. "Our goal is to inspire and support others that live their lives with a similar spirit and strive for positive change."
