Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Army Veteran Parrish Andre Fitts.
Parrish served 10 years active duty and 10 years with the Hawaii National Guard. During that time, he deployed for two tours supporting Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Along with his love to serve his country, he served in his church as an elder.
“Parrish was an awesome man. He loved serving his country. Mostly important, he loved being a father and was the world’s best husband,” said his wife.
Parrish passed away two years ago. He is survived by his wife and three children.
We honor his service.
