Fallen Patriot Commemoration
This U.S. Flag site and Flag Steward experience is dedicated to this inspirational Patriot:
Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy
Zackari Spurlock Parrish III
(Husband of Gracie Moehlenpah Parrish - a 2006 MVHS Graduate)

End of Watch on Dec. 31, 2017 in Highlands Ranch, CO
Sheriff's Deputy Zackari Parrish was shot and killed while responding to a disturbance by a mentally unstable man that Zack wanted to help. The assailant ambushed Deputy Parrish and his fellow officers with more than 100 rounds of gun fire. Four other police officers were wounded.
Please, pray for his wife, two young daughters, and the rest of his family in mourning.

These quotes and actions described by Parrish's teammates reinforce his inspirational leadership and commitment to serve others.
Parrish’s Sergeant remembered Zack’s last words in the conversation where deputies planned how to approach the call. Never fearful and ready to tackle any challenge, Parrish positively and confidently stated, “OK, let’s go” as he led his teammates.
And Michael Doyle, one of the deputies wounded on the call, remembered Parrish’s courage to place himself in a dangerous situation. He watched Parrish take the lead walking first through the door, and Doyle said he followed. “I would do it again without hesitation because that’s the kind of influence he had on everyone around him.”

 Your school now has an Interactive American Flag, 'AWAKENED' by the Flag Steward app, that honors fallen Deputy Zack Parrish III and should inform & inspire your school. 
PATRIOT POPPY says, I WANT YOU to become a Flag Steward.  So, GO HERE to 'Awaken It Forward' (Pay It Forward) - providing an Interactive American Flag to another school (tax-deductible donation)
