Excellent- More about A Patriot's Promise: Protecting My Brothers, Fighting for My Life, and Keeping My Word
Israel "DT" Del Toro, Jr. was orphaned at fourteen and promised to take care of his siblings. He enlisted in the Air Force and became a skilled marksman, calling airstrikes. However, he was injured in action and suffered third-degree burns on 80% of his body. Despite the odds, he pushed through and became the first 100% disabled veteran to reenlist in the Air Force. His promise now extends to fellow wounded warriors worldwide as he advocates for awareness and changes in public policy for wounded, injured, and ill soldiers.

Israel "DT" Del Toro, Jr.'s Humvee rolled over a roadside improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, leaving him with one thought as he lost consciousness: "I have to keep the promise I made to my dad." DT was orphaned at the age of fourteen and, on the night before his father died, repeated the promise his dad had required of him: "Take care of your brothers and sisters." Throughout his childhood and into adulthood, DT indeed looked after his younger brother and sisters, even to his own detriment and sacrifice. When he enlisted in the Air Force, progressing in ranks as a skilled marksman calling airstrikes, his promise extended to his brothers and sisters in the Air Force - his fellow soldiers and brothers-in-arms. When DT was injured in action, he lay in a coma for three months with third-degree burns on 80 percent of his body. He nearly died three times, and doctors predicted - if he survived - he would forever breathe with a respirator and never walk again. DT pushed through every limit to his full recovery and became the first 100 percent disabled veteran to reenlist in the Air Force. DT's promise to his dad extends now to his fellow wounded warriors throughout the world as he advocates for awareness and affecting change in public policy for wounded, injured, and ill soldiers. He is a patriot who has kept his promise and changed the world with the spirit of his heart, soul, body, and mind.
