Prince Harry is set to receive the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPY Awards, a decision that has left many confused and questioning the selection. The award, named after the fallen soldier and promising NFL player, is typically given to individuals working in the veteran community who are making significant contributions. Mary "Dannie" Tillman, Pat Tillman's mother, expressed shock at the choice of Prince Harry, citing more deserving recipients without the same resources and privilege. Despite the controversy, Prince Harry is being recognized for his work with the Invictus Games, an international sporting event for wounded servicemen and women, which he launched in 2014. The Duke of Sussex dedicated the award to the entire service community and will accept it in Hollywood next month. The decision has been met with criticism from various individuals, including sports analysts, questioning the rationale behind honoring Prince Harry for his service work.
