Spc. Parker Smith
Spc. Parker Smith, Barracks Manager of 2nd Brigade, 10th Brigade Support Battalion, Bravo Company, has a passion for improving the lives of those around him. Here at Fort Drum, that passion manifests in making his barracks feel like a home for the Soldiers that live there. “I joined the military to help people, to be part of a team,” Parker said. All the improvements were self-funded by Smith and his command team. “Having to spend a couple dollars here and there is no big deal because you're going to see people utilize it, which makes you feel good,” he said. “Make your barracks look like a home. Don't let them look like just another building that doesn't matter, because they do matter. Soldiers live here.”
Sgt. Maj. Mario Teranas, Command Sgt. Maj of the 10th Mountain Division(LI), presented him with the Army Commendation Medal for his efforts and the positive effects he’s had on the Soldiers around him, here at Fort Drum, June 25, 2021.
