The Folds of Honor foundation supports the families of fallen service members — and now, first responders. The two newest recipients of scholarships were announced on 'Fox & Friends.'
Folds of Honor is adding a new scholarship fund for the families of fallen first responders. Lt. Col. Dan Rooney appeared on "Fox and Friends" on Monday morning to announce the new scholarship winners. Gracie Parrish Miller was thrilled to learn that her two daughters are now scholarship recipients.
With roughly 240 million 911 calls placed each year, said Rooney, first responders are constantly out and about as they ensure the safety for Americans while also putting their own lives as risk. Gracie Parrish Miller, the widow of Deputy Zack Parrish, joined the conversation to discuss her own experience being a first responder wife. Miller awoke early the next morning to the news that she had become a widow.
With the new task of raising 4-year-old and 16-month-old girls alone, Miller, 29 years old at the time, said her world was rocked. Rooney went on to announce a new scholarship fund from Folds of Honor specifically for the families of fallen first responders. "This is God’s mission. He calls us to take care of widows and orphans with the greatest frequency in the Bible and that is what we’re doing at Folds of Honor," he said.
At the time of her husband's passing, Gracie Parrish Miller was 29 years old with 4-year-old and 16-month-old daughters."It’s such an incredible gift to know that I don’t have to do this alone," the mom of two said. The foundation has a $13 per month donation option, which represents the 13 folds of the American flag, giving it its iconic shape, noted Rooney. Fun stories about food, relationships, the great outdoors and more.
