Most Recent Reflection
View all 155 ReflectionsI was one of the dispatcher who handled Sgt. Parry's
incident. There are things about that event that will always be with me. I never had the honor to meet him, but he sounds like he has a lot of the qualities his sister does so I know he had to be a special person. I found out I was chosen to receive The Sgt Mark Parry Distinguished Service Award, for a call I handled in the Woodlawn area. For me to have Sgt Parry's name on the Award means just as much to me as it does the reason I have been chosen to receive the Award.
