In January, Los Angeles faced devastating wildfires that required a massive emergency response from over 7,500 personnel. Among these responders were Olympic gold medalist David Walters and professional soccer champion Erin Regan, who demonstrated exceptional courage. They are recipients of this year's Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPY Awards, recognizing their heroic actions during the crisis. Walters, a former Olympic swimmer, spoke about the determination to protect the community, highlighting the supportive spirit among citizens during a challenging time.
"We're pretty much trying to keep what is left here standing. We're not laying down. We're staying in our position - that's correct, I did sleep on top of the hose bed last night, just staying ready to do what we can still do."
"This has been a challenging year, but also a rewarding one as we watched the Los Angeles community come together to support their neighbors."
