Have fun out there. It's a simple sentence: four words, a plain directive, a call to action that's difficult to ignore. Some elite athletes might eschew such a basic initiative, choosing to focus on winning above all else.

Of all the photos documenting the life of former Arizona Cardinals defensive back Pat Tillman, one stood out so vividly that it inspired a statue outside the team's stadium honoring Tillman after his 2004 death while serving with the Army Rangers in Afghanistan. Tillman's story has been told and retold, but rarely does the public get to know the story of photographers such as Gene Lower, who is responsible for that iconic image of Tillman celebrating a tackle 26 years ago.

When Pat Tillman was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004, the news stunned his fellow Americans. He was one of the most famous soldiers since Elvis Presley and perhaps the most famous American killed in combat since the legendary war correspondent Ernie Pyle in World War II. The story of Tillman's death at age 27 -- and of the aftermath of the tragedy -- revolves around a series of inexplicable command decisions that, even today, confound his family and those who served with him.
