Local man in Afghanistan I Fox10tv.com: "Violence in Afghanistan is heartbreaking for Jen Parker. Parker tries to be strong for her son, but worries about his safety all the time. Her son, Michael Adam Parker, is a Sargent in the United States Army and is stationed in Afghanistan training Afghans and leading them into battle.

Michael Adam Parker grew up in the small town of Robertsdale, and even as a baby his mother knew he was destined for a life of service. Jen Parker said her son was always putting something on his head. 'Now, that I look back I should have known it was an omen he would wear a soldiers helmet,' shared Parker."
