Quite an honor for those two heroes! Congratulations to both!Repost from @lavetscollab

Two Los Angeles-area first responders — David Walters of the Los Angeles Fire Department and Erin Regan of Los Angeles County Fire — have been named recipients of the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for Service at the upcoming 2025 ESPY Awards.
The award honors individuals connected to sports who have demonstrated exceptional service to others, reflecting the legacy of former NFL player and U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman. The award will be presented during the ceremony on July 16 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Walters and Regan were recognized for their courageous efforts during the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires that swept through the Los Angeles region in January. According to ESPN, the honorees “were on the front lines battling extreme winds and fire behavior while tragically losing colleagues and working tirelessly to defend their city in one of the most devastating fires in Los Angeles history.”
Walters is a decorated Olympic gold medalist and world-record holder in swimming. He has served with the LAFD for nearly a decade. His athletic achievements include a gold medal in the men’s 4x200-meter freestyle relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and multiple World Aquatic Championship medals. He set a world record alongside teammates Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Ricky Berens.
Regan was a collegiate soccer goalkeeper at Wake Forest University, where she earned first-team All-ACC Honors and set several school records. She went on to play professionally with the Washington Freedom before joining LACoFD in 2008. Regan is also a passionate advocate for women in firefighting, co-founding initiatives like the “Girls Fire Camp” and Women’s Fire Prep Academy to support female recruits.
