This profound interview with one of my best friends captures a man’s passion from an early age to break the generational pain of being raised by an abusive father… to himself becoming an amazing father, an accomplishment as a young man he couldn’t conceive possible.
His excruciating childhood prepared him to become a marine; the combination of his god-gifted behavior and early abuse crafted his training excellence as an accomplished leader.
Then fast forward his life to when his wife walked out, his career changed from being a Gunnery Sergeant of the US Marine Corps to becoming a full-time father and mother.
Jack is man familiar with the seriousness of battle, during his entire adult life he has fought the mental incarceration remaining from the Vietnam War.
Today, at 70-years young he still has the heart of a lion, the unconditional love of a mother, the tough love of a father and the inter-strength from everyone who knows Jack Parson’s, because he is still the “Gunny”!
Once a marine…always a marine as Jack has shared with me hundred if not thousands of time… that he is honored… to have walked among heroes.
