Soldier From Va. Emulated His Hero
Service in Rangers Replaced Football

Ryan McGhee's interest in the military dated back to his days playing soldier as a child. By the time he was ready to graduate from high school, football had become his passion.
Tying the two together was McGhee's idol, Pat Tillman, a football star who famously chose to leave the gridiron to serve his country as an Army Ranger. McGhee wanted to follow that example, forgoing the chance to keep starring on the field to become a Ranger.
Cpl. Ryan C. McGhee, 21, of Fredericksburg died May 13 after his unit encountered enemy forces in central Iraq, according to the Department of Defense. McGhee was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, based at Fort Benning, Ga. He had been deployed to Afghanistan three times before being sent to Iraq.
