Parham Jr. Leadership Award in recognition for his ministry and heroic service during the combat deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and accompanying ships. He is also famously the last priest to leave Afghanistan and witnessed the chaos of the 2021 evacuation of American troops there. Read the story linked here
