 General Mark Graham (Ret.) & Carol Graham Advocates & Speakers The Grahams lost both their sons who died fighting different battles. Kevin was a University of Kentucky Senior Army ROTC scholarship cadet who was studying to be a doctor when he lost the fight to suicide on June 21, 2003. Jeffery was commissioned a lieutenant in the US Army as an Armor officer. He was killed warning his platoon of an IED while leading a dismounted patrol in Khadliyah, Iraq in 2004. Since, the Grahams have remained an Army family with a mission and a purpose to make the world a better place. Although still healing, the Grahams have become advocates for soldiers who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury and suicide prevention.
