Ground Casualty
LTC Annie R. Graham served with Headquarters & Headquarters Detachment (HHD), 91st Evacuation Hospital, 44th Medical Brigade in Saigon. On August 8, 1968, she was admitted to the 91st Evacuation Hospital at 10:30 PM after suffering what appeared at first to be a fainting spell. Upon admission to the hospital her illness was diagnosed as a stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage). Due to the seriousness of her condition she was evacuated with one of the physicians in attendance to the U.S. Air Force Hospital at Tachikawa Air Force Base, Japan, where, despite every effort to save her life, she died six days later at 9:55 PM on August 14. A veteran of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, she was 51 years-old. [Taken from virtualwall.org]

Remembering An American Hero
Dear LTC Annie R Graham, Ma'am
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country.
The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never
be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank
you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love
you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Ma'am

NEVER FORGOTTEN
FOREVER REMEMBERED
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
