Brave Chicago Soldier Wins Coveted Award
The following is, in part, from wire service reports…
Air Force Sgt. Israel Del Toro, known as D.T. to those close to him, received the Pat Tillman Award for Service last night at the 2017 ESPYS. The Chicago native is a life-long White Sox fan.
In 2005, Del Toro was on a tour in Afghanistan when his Humvee rolled over a buried mine and exploded. More than 80 percent of his body was covered in severe burns and he lost all of his fingers on his left hand.
