Cpl. Anthony Aitilio Dilisio, Art Prize, 2011

This is Cpl. Anthony Aitilio Dilisio. The day he died he was told that he could take the day off but he decided to go anyway. His family didn't want him to go into the service but he wanted to go. He wanted to fight. He wanted to be a hero. He was stubborn and a born leader. He was 25 yards outside the camp when a van of enemy fighters fired upon them. They all died but so did Anthony. Anthony was from Macomb, Michigan. He died on 5/30/2010 at the age of 20. His original portrait, a watercolor pencil painting on canvas can be seen during Art Prize, 2011 at the Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital Atrium. Art Prize goes from Sept. 21 through Oct. 9.
