    TSgt Del Toro joined the Air Force in 1997. On December 04, 2005, while serving in Afghanistan, Del Toro was injured by an Improvised Explosive Devise attack, receiving burns over 80% of his body. He also lost his fingers on both hands, suffered nerve damage to his right foot, and spent four months in a coma. On February 08, 2010, Del Toro became the first 100% disabled airman to re-enlist in the Air Force.
