US Marine veteran Kyle Parrish was exposed to burn pits while serving in Iraq and is now battling cancer.
After his service, Parrish started a career in education. He used his benefits through the GI bill to attend the University of South Alabama in his hometown, Mobile.
"The fact that he always took time out for our kids," said Parrish's wife, AnnaLisa."Our daughter - she's 13 now - her favorite memory of basketball is having those boys sit down and color her princess coloring book with her, including Jace." "In May of this year, early May I had a scan and they found a mass in my lymph nodes. That cancer has come back.""They've got me scheduled for four rounds of chemo which is five days on, two weeks off. I just finished my first round.""Probably within 20 minutes of that going out there, he sent me a really phenomenal message that made me feel special," Kyle said."Let us know that he cares about us and that means the world to us.
