Steven Elliott graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. degree in international business from Oral Roberts University in 2003. Three weeks later he began army Basic Training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Like many others, Steven joined the military in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He successfully completed the Ranger Indoctrination Program (RIP) and became a member of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. In November 2003, at the age of twenty-two, he was assigned to the same platoon as Pat and Kevin Tillman. In April 2004, Steven deployed to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. On April 22, in the midst of an enemy ambush, he was one of four Rangers who mistook Pat Tillman’s position for that of the enemy and fired there. Steven is one of two Rangers considered likely to be responsible for firing the bullets that killed Pat Tillman (the source of the fatal bullets has never been conclusively determined) and is the only shooter to speak publicly about the incident and its aftermath. Steven served honorably and with distinction during his remaining years in the service and fulfilled his four-year term in 2007. Today, he is the president of Capstone Trust in Olympia, Washington. He has served as a volunteer veterans court mentor and continues to speak about his experiences in an effort to advocate for change in how the unseen wounds of war suffered by those in uniform are recognized and treated. Steven and his wife, Brook, have two daughters, Gracie and Hazel.
