Jordan,
When you get out on the field tonight they will play the
National Anthem. I want you to remember
your Great Grandfather Victor Parisian who fought in the fields of France for
that flag. I want you to remember your
Grandfather Douglas Parisian who served in the Army Air Force as a pilot and
who always respected and honored our American flag. That flag represents so much good in our
country, our town and our family. A lot
of hard work went into keeping that flag and our nation free.
You are no stranger to hard work.
I want you to remember your family and all of the time you
and I were able to spend together over the years on various practice fields and
exciting games. This is what it comes
down to.
Tonight, you get to start for a great team at a great
school. Play hard, play clean, and let
your play on the field do the talking.
Be a leader when the going gets tough out there. Rally your teammates.
I know you will shine tonight. The great ones elevate their performance on
the greatest stages with the highest stakes and are able to summon something
extra.
You are a great football player. Always have been. Tonight, you get to light it up and show the
world. Win or lose, you are a winner and
always will be.
Love,
Dad
