“It is our honor to recognize RS2 Parrish for his service not only to our country but also to our community," said. Ms. Lori Tulloch, Chairperson of the Carteret County MAC. "He gives his time willingly and looks forward to new opportunities to serve others."
“I want to give back to the community and make a positive impact,” said Parrish about his motivation to volunteer.
Parrish focused much of his efforts at the Carteret County Animal Shelter, exercising dogs and cats, cleaning kennels and equipment and answering questions about adoptions. He also lent his expertise to special projects at the facility. Additionally, he volunteered during litter cleanup efforts in the county.

“I want people to see that a Sailor is willing to volunteer out of their own heart,” says Parrish about the example he sets for his peers. “My mother told me to volunteer when no one is looking...it makes me feel like I am making a difference.”
