Prince Harry, a decorated military veteran and founder of the Invictus Games for wounded or injured veterans, accepted the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPYs. Despite objections from fallen soldier Pat Tillman's mother, who felt there were more deserving recipients, Harry emphasized that the award truly belonged to the veterans and service personnel who made the Invictus Games a reality. Addressing Mary Tillman in his speech, Harry praised her advocacy for Pat's legacy and highlighted the importance of supporting veterans in need. He reaffirmed the Invictus Games' commitment to leaving no one behind, echoing the military expression he believed Pat Tillman lived by. Pat Tillman, a former NFL player turned U.S. Army soldier killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan, remains a symbol of sacrifice and heroism.
