Former Pat Tillman Award recipient, U.S. Marine Jake Wood, defends Prince Harry's deserving of the prestigious award despite the controversy. According to Jake, veterans who have interacted with Harry praise his humble and genuine nature, emphasizing his dedication to supporting military veterans through initiatives like the Invictus Games. Despite being a royal, Harry chose to serve his country with two tours in Afghanistan, showcasing his commitment to service. Jake urges people to separate Harry's controversial reputation from his genuine efforts and contributions to the military community worldwide. While some, like Pat Tillman's mother, disagree with ESPN's decision to honor Harry at the ESPY Awards, Jake argues that Harry's actions speak louder than his title, making him a truly deserving recipient of the Pat Tillman Award for Service.
