PHOENIX — One of the best in the country.
When Sergeant Daniel D'Ippolito signed up for the Arizona National Guard three years ago, he never thought he would earn the title of “Best Warrior.“
"I didn't know a whole lot about the Best Warrior Competition,“ he said.
“Truth be told, I just got an email to learn more and I said yes, I want to learn more, and I got nominated.“
