Army Sgt. Tosto was assigned to Company A, 1st Battalion, 35th Armored Regiment, 1st Armored Division, Smith Barracks, Germany. Tosto was a tank driver who didn’t die from combat, but from pneumonia that developed rapidly and killed him before he could be airlifted from Camp Wolf, Kuwait to a military hospital in Germany. His death came less than 48 hours after he started showing symptoms of pneumonia. He had been assigned to duty in Baghdad April 30. The family believes Michael may have had a bad reaction to the anthrax shot that was given to him in Iraq. He is survived by his wife, Stephanie, and a young son.
