He joined the Navy out of a sense of patriotism and gratitude for the freedom he enjoyed as an American citizen in a post 9\/11 society. Then, in a moment of genuine fear, he chose not to run, but to chase, and in the midst of defending another, he was brutally shot, critically wounded, and ultimately left for dead. As days turned to weeks, he chose to fight for his life--a decision made out of faith for the very life he knew he was called to live and the message he was chosen to deliver. Brett is a tribute to his country, to his community, and to his faith.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Kate Ziegler United States Olympic Team (2008, 2012)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOctober 17, 2012 started as any other day for Navy airman and fitness trainer Brett Parks until he heard screams for help. Without hesitation, he ran towards the sound and apprehended the mugger, unaware that the criminal had a gun. Moments later, the attacker fired a devastating shot directly into Brett's body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bullet shredded Brett's kidney, pierced his intestines, and destroyed several inches of the largest vein in his body. Three sets of surgeons' hands applied pressure inside Brett's open stomach to stop the bleeding while nurses delivered coolers full of blood to the operating room every 15 minutes. As the medical team worked fervently to save Brett's life, his wife received the bleak news that their unborn daughter and young son may grow up without a father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the God whom Brett had given his life to years before had other plans.
