The retired Marines Corps Colonel will be honored when Texas Football hosts Iowa State on Oct. 15.
Keith Parry said he always knew he wanted to be part of the United States Marine Corps. Military service runs throughout Parry's family history, and by honoring that innate call, Parry stepped forward as a leader throughout his infantry, intelligence and special operations assignments. His combat deployments span decades, and Parry's personal decorations include the Legion of Merit and three Bronze Stars (with combat valor devices), yet his 30-year service career is distinguished by a unique ability to train, understand and organize Marines at every level he commanded.
