Pennington Bill, "PRO FOOTBALL; Ex-N.F.L. Player Is Killed In Combat",The New York Times, 24 April 2004

-He and Kevin were very proud to be Rangers...But he was adamant that he did not want to be singled out from all of his brothers and sisters in the armed forces. He did not think he was doing anything different than they were doing

-He seemed very happy to be around the team again, and Pat had every intention of coming back into the N.F.L when his time with the Army was complete,

-''I remember we went to work him out for 15 minutes,'' said McGinnis...''The workout ended up taking 45 minutes, because Pat wouldn't let us stop the drills until he did every one perfectly.''

-What other person do you know would give up a life in the N.F.L. to defend what he believes in with his own life
