Michael Parros

West Point, 2016

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Cathleen Hoffman on August 1, 2016:

Michael traveled a similar path as my son, a 2014 grad with the same first name. Both grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, played high school football in the East Bay, attended West Point, then Ranger School. The only call a parent worries about on the first day of Ranger School is a call from their student indicating that they did not pass the Ranger Assessment Phase (RAP). No parent expects a call that their student did not survive RAP. My heart goes out to Michael's parents and family. Your loss is our loss. You should be very proud of all that your son accomplished. I wish you much love and peace at this very difficult time.
