Vicky Press media is announcing we are now representing Army Veteran Eric Parker.

 TAMPA, Fla., May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Many military veterans have continued their careers as motivational speakers, sharing stories of leadership, teamwork, overcoming adversity, and facing challenges. Their harrowing stories of survival and brotherhood inspire and motivate audiences everywhere. At Vicky Press Media, we thank these brave men and women for their service to our country, and for protecting us all. We are proud to represent them on the speaking circuit and would welcome the opportunity to help you bring a military veteran to your next event and for media commentary.

Every Veteran of the armed forces of the United States is a hero to the  American people, lucky for the passengers of American Airlines on Flight  844 Dallas to Tampa on May 1st Army Special Operations Combat Veteran  Eric Parker was on that flight. While Eric Parker was traveling from Dallas back to Tampa an unruly drunk passenger strolled up into 1st Class heading towards the cockpit. Eric noticed the suspicious behavior of this man who had a hoodie draped over his head. He was moving in a way that it would appear he was carrying something. Mr. Parker then noticed the response from the flight attendant with her raising her arms in a motion to stop someone, and then started saying "Sir, Sir". to the man with the hoodie, a woman in the 1st row started screaming. That is when Mr. Parker jumped over the passenger seated to his left and approached the subject from behind. The subject still had his hands beyond view, so Mr. Parker looked over to see if he had a weapon of some kind, and then saw him exposing himself and urinating on the floor of the plane and the female passenger in the front row. Eric immediately took action to immobilize the perpetrator, ending with the subject being taken down, and then duct taped his arms behind his back until the plane landed safely in New Orleans. Once the flight landed, Uniformed Police Officer's took the subject into custody.

Mr. Parker explains "Upon arrival to Tampa, I received lots of Thank you's, but one in particular was nice. It was from a 69-year-old lady, who said to me, Thank you very much, you just jumped up and he went down. She said she had turned to her husband and said, thank God there are real men still out there that will react, because she couldn't believe no one else was doing anything. In the end, I just had other passengers pointing at me, saying ``that's him, that's the guy."

Let it be clear, as Eric states, "I am NOT a Hero, I've known a few! I actually know at least a hundred guys that if they were in that same situation, seated where I was seated, would have reacted the same way. I am a blessed person, because I know these guys, and know that if one of my family members were in trouble in that same situation, they will react, versus someone that won't. I was just at the right place at the right time, and am no one special, and in this situation, I cannot call myself a Hero, when I have seen so much more.
