Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Parrish’s loved ones:

An Alabama soldier died Thursday from wounds suffered when his vehicle ran over a road side bomb in Iraq.

Dusty Parrish of Walker County was an Army medic and a graduate of Jasper’s Walker High School. Karen Tucker, a friend of one of Parrish’s cousins said that Parrish was due to come home in July.

    This was not a roadside bomb, infact it was an ambush. They had shot @ my son Dusty and the rest of the covoy with a rocket perpell lunceher. The iventagation is not over with yet. I’m just glad that he was the only one that had got KILLED or even hurt in this none sence hell hole they send our unexperiece YOUNG babies there to do. I need answere’s to so much why my babie boy is not comeing home, he had missed his last b-day and x-mas with his son that will be turnning 5 this march. He has missed his own birthday then he had to miss his son’s birthday. I’s like he will never get to know what his fater had done for him and all of every one else. I have so much to say and get answer’s but how do you start? I’m in a total lost of words. Thank yoy guys for makeing it easyier on him why he was there.

    I have recieved Dusty Parrish on my list of fallen heros. I just want to say that I am so sorry for this great loss of Dusty. Dusty’s service is so greatly appreciated. He is honored and respected and will never be forgotten. I know no words can do much too ease your pain and your questions. Again, I am so sorry. I pray for the family to have the strength to be able to endure this great tragedy.
    Sincerly,
